Thc Oil Calculator

Cannabis edibles have become one of the most popular and discreet ways to consume THC. But one of the biggest challenges in making them at home is determining the potency of your infused oil or butter. Without proper calculations, it’s easy to make doses that are either too strong or too weak. That’s where a THC Oil Potency & Dosage Calculator becomes a game-changer.

This tool helps you quickly and accurately estimate the total THC in your oil, the THC concentration per milliliter (or teaspoon, tablespoon, cup, or ounce), and the approximate dosage per serving. It takes into account flower weight, THC percentage, extraction efficiency, oil volume, and dose size to give you clear and practical results.

How to Use the THC Oil Potency Calculator

Using the calculator is simple. Follow these steps:

1. Enter Flower Weight (grams)
   Input the amount of cannabis flower you’re using for infusion.
2. Enter THC Percentage (%)
   This refers to the THC content listed on your flower packaging (usually between 10–30%).
3. Enter Oil or Butter Volume
   Choose the amount of oil, butter, or other fat you’re infusing. Select your unit (ml, oz, cups, tsp, tbsp).
4. Enter Extraction Efficiency (%)
   Not all THC is extracted. By default, efficiency is set at 80%, but you can adjust this between 30–100%.
5. Enter Dose Size
   Specify the size of your intended serving (e.g., 1 teaspoon or 5 ml).
6. Click “Calculate”
   The calculator will display:
   • Total THC in the oil
   • THC per milliliter (or unit of volume)
   • THC per dose
   • Number of doses in your batch
7. Use “Reset” if you want to start over with new inputs.

Example Calculation

Let’s say you want to make cannabis-infused coconut oil:

• Flower Weight: 7 grams
• THC Percentage: 20%
• Oil Volume: 250 ml (about 1 cup)
• Extraction Efficiency: 80%
• Dose Size: 5 ml (1 teaspoon)

Results:

• Total THC in oil: ~11,200 mg
• THC per ml: ~44.8 mg/ml
• THC per dose (5 ml): ~224 mg
• Number of doses: ~50 teaspoons

This example shows just how potent infused oils can become. With 224 mg per teaspoon, you’d want to carefully divide or dilute the oil for safer consumption.

Why This Calculator is Useful

• Accuracy – Avoids guesswork in dosing.
• Customizable – Adjusts for different oil types, serving sizes, and THC levels.
• Safety – Prevents overconsumption by showing you potency before you consume.
• Versatility – Works with butter, coconut oil, olive oil, and other infusion bases.
• Educational – Teaches you how flower potency, extraction, and serving size all impact the final product.

Tips for Using THC Oil Safely

• Start Low, Go Slow: Begin with small servings, especially if you’re unsure of your tolerance.
• Decarboxylate First: To activate THC, always decarboxylate your cannabis before infusion.
• Store Properly: Keep infused oil in a dark glass container, refrigerated if possible, to preserve potency.
• Label Your Oil: Write down the estimated potency and date to avoid confusion.
• Experiment with Recipes: Use your infused oil in baking, cooking, or as a simple edible dose.

FAQs About the THC Oil Calculator

1. What is THC oil potency?
Potency refers to the concentration of THC in your infused oil, usually measured in mg per ml.

2. How accurate is this calculator?
It provides close estimates but actual results may vary due to strain, decarboxylation, and infusion method.

3. What is extraction efficiency?
It’s the percentage of THC extracted from cannabis into your oil. Average efficiency is around 70–80%.

4. Can I use this calculator for CBD oil?
Yes, just replace THC % with CBD % from your flower or concentrate.

5. Why do I need to decarboxylate cannabis?
Decarboxylation activates THC from its raw, non-psychoactive form (THCA). Without it, edibles won’t be potent.

6. What types of oils can I use?
Common choices are coconut oil, olive oil, butter, or MCT oil. All work with this calculator.

7. What’s the difference between ml, tsp, tbsp, and cups in calculations?
The calculator converts everything into milliliters, ensuring precise results across different units.

8. How much THC is in 1 gram of flower?
One gram with 20% THC has about 200 mg THC (before efficiency loss).

9. Can I overdose on THC edibles?
While not fatal, taking too much THC can cause intense anxiety, paranoia, or nausea. Accurate dosing prevents this.

10. What is a safe starting dose?
Beginners should start with 2.5–5 mg THC per serving and wait 2 hours before taking more.

11. How do I dilute my oil if it’s too strong?
Simply mix it with more plain oil or butter to lower the THC concentration per serving.

12. Can I use this calculator for tinctures?
Yes, the same principles apply to alcohol-based cannabis tinctures.

13. Why do results vary between batches?
Factors like flower freshness, grind size, temperature, and stirring can affect THC transfer.

14. How long does THC oil stay potent?
If stored properly in a cool, dark place, infused oil can stay potent for up to 6 months.

15. Does cooking with THC oil reduce potency?
Yes, overheating can degrade THC. Avoid cooking above 320°F (160°C).

16. Can I calculate multiple strains together?
Yes, weigh and average THC percentages for mixed strains to estimate total potency.

17. What happens if I skip efficiency input?
Leaving efficiency at 100% assumes perfect extraction, which rarely happens. It’s better to use 70–80%.

18. Can I share results with friends?
Yes, the tool lets you copy or share your potency results easily.

19. Is this calculator only for edibles?
Primarily yes, but it can also help with dosing capsules, tinctures, or topical oils.

20. Should I test my oil in a lab?
For the most accurate results, lab testing is ideal, but this calculator provides reliable home-use estimates.

Final Thoughts

Making cannabis-infused oil or butter at home can be rewarding, but dosage control is critical for both safety and enjoyment. The THC Oil Potency & Dosage Calculator removes the guesswork by providing a simple way to estimate THC content and servings. Whether you’re a beginner making brownies or an experienced user crafting tinctures, this tool helps you dose with confidence.
