THC Conversion Formula:
| From: | To: |
The THC mg to teaspoons conversion helps convert the weight of THC (in milligrams) to volume measurement (teaspoons) based on the density of the substance. This is particularly useful for cooking with cannabis-infused oils or butter.
The calculator uses the following formula:
Where:
Explanation: The formula accounts for the density of the substance to convert weight to volume measurement.
Details: Accurate conversion is crucial for proper dosing when preparing cannabis-infused edibles. This helps ensure consistent potency and prevents overconsumption.
Tips: Enter THC amount in milligrams and the density of your substance in g/ml. The default density (0.92) is for cannabis butter. All values must be positive numbers.
Q1: Why is density important in this conversion?
A: Different substances have different densities, which affects how much volume a given weight occupies. Cannabis butter typically has a density around 0.92 g/ml.
Q2: What's the density of coconut oil?
A: Coconut oil has a density of approximately 0.92 g/ml at room temperature, similar to butter.
Q3: How accurate is this conversion?
A: The conversion is mathematically accurate, but actual results may vary slightly due to factors like temperature and exact composition of your infused product.
Q4: Can I use this for other cannabis-infused liquids?
A: Yes, as long as you know the density of your specific infused product. Alcohol tinctures, for example, would have a different density.
Q5: Why 5000 in the formula?
A: The 5000 comes from converting mg to g (÷1000) and ml to teaspoons (×5, since 1 teaspoon ≈ 5ml). Combined this becomes ÷(1000/5) = ÷200, but we use ×5000 in the denominator which is equivalent.
