1. What is THC Percentage?

THC Percentage represents the concentration of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) in a cannabis product, expressed as a percentage of the total mass. It is a key indicator of the potency and strength of cannabis products.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the THC percentage formula:

Where:

• \( \text{THC Mass} \) — Mass of THC content in milligrams (mg)
• \( \text{Total Mass} \) — Total mass of the product in milligrams (mg)

Explanation: This formula calculates the percentage concentration by dividing the mass of THC by the total mass of the product and multiplying by 100 to convert to a percentage.

3. Importance of THC Percentage Calculation

Details: Accurate THC percentage calculation is crucial for determining product potency, ensuring proper dosing, regulatory compliance, and consumer safety in cannabis products.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter THC mass and total mass in milligrams. Both values must be positive numbers greater than zero for accurate calculation.
