Calculating THC

One of the major differences between edible consumption of the past and the present is dosage control. The sophisticated consumer now has the ability to create an elite foundation of oils and butters with specific THC calculations, resulting in a consumable meal without angst.

The scientific determination of THC levels is calculated with basic math and the knowledge of any cannabis product (i.e. Bud, Shake, Trim). Knowing the present levels of THC is what makes the difference between having a great edible experience and shying away in fear, as many first-time consumers do. I was one of those consumers.

I have specific purveyors for my cannabis materials. I get my fish on Fridays and my produce on Wednesdays, because that is when my specialists are selling. These suppliers are well versed in their craft; they know their products—the THC levels of each; the flavor profiles of each. Their interest and acumen reassure me that I will consistently receive the best quality produce from them. We are a team. And we invite you, the consumer, to join us.

This is the first and most important recipe in your arsenal.
