Question about mg of THC (self.trees)

submitted 2 days ago by mrmule to c/trees

Hello friends

I have a friend who makes space cake edibles

We use 20grams of weed in the butter which will make 20 slices of cake.. Essentially each slice contains and average of 1gram of weed.

The weed contains on average 12%THC

How many mg (milligrams) of THC is in each slice on average?

I believe it is 120mg THC per slice.

Can anyone confirm please?

I'm pretty sure there's a non negligible loss during decarboxylation (baking), either in the form of unconverted THCA or degradation byproducts. 10-15% maybe?

Haven't heard that, I apply the loss factor based on the extraction (absorption?) medium. So you only get 80% of potential cannabinoids with oil, less with butter.
