THC Edibles Delivery Calculation:
From: | To: |
The THC Edibles Delivery Calculation helps determine the actual delivered dose of THC based on the ordered amount, product potency, and bioavailability of the consumption method.
The calculator uses the following equation:
Where:
Explanation: The equation accounts for both the actual THC content in the product and how much of that THC will actually be absorbed based on consumption method.
Details: Proper THC dosing is crucial for achieving desired effects while avoiding overconsumption. Effects can vary significantly based on delivery method and individual metabolism.
Tips: Enter the amount of product ordered in mg, the product's THC percentage (typically 10-100%), and select the consumption method. All values must be valid (ordered mg > 0, potency between 0-100%).
Q1: Why do different methods have different bioavailability?
A: Bioavailability varies because of different absorption pathways. Edibles undergo first-pass metabolism in the liver, while smoked THC enters directly into the bloodstream via lungs.
Q2: What's a typical starting dose for beginners?
A: For edibles, 2.5-5mg of delivered THC is often recommended for first-time users to assess tolerance.
Q3: How long until effects are felt?
A: Edibles typically take 30-90 minutes, while smoked THC takes effect within minutes. The duration also varies significantly by method.
Q4: Are there other factors that affect delivery?
A: Yes - individual metabolism, food intake, tolerance, and product formulation can all influence the actual delivered dose.
Q5: Is this calculator suitable for medical use?
A: This is for informational purposes only. Medical cannabis dosing should be supervised by a healthcare professional.
