The Science of Consistency: How It Works
To achieve a reliable, therapeutic result, we must move from "trial and error" to "standardized dosing". Because every plant contains a different concentration of cannabinoids, precision is the key to safety and effective symptom management.
Here is how to determine your infusion potency using three essential variables:
1. The Starting Material (Potency)
Begin with the weight of your dried flower and its estimated THC percentage. This gives you the "Total Potential Potency" of your batch before infusion.
2. The Extraction Variable (Loss Factor)
When infusing flower into a fat (butter, coconut oil, or honey), we assume a 15% loss factor. This accounts for the natural residue left behind in the plant material and the limits of thermal extraction.
3. The Volumetric Distribution
Once the infusion is complete, divide the "Net Potency" by the total volume of your infused ingredient (e.g., total tablespoons or milliliters). This gives you a precise milligram count per unit, allowing you to control your intake with absolute confidence.
Our Precision Formula
Apply this standard calculation to ensure your medicine remains consistent every time you prepare a new batch:*
[(Weight in mg) × (THC %)] × 0.85 = Total Net Potency
Total Net Potency ÷ Total Volume = mg per serving
Why This Matters
Safety First: By calculating your dosage, you eliminate the risk of accidental overconsumption. You know exactly what you are consuming before you take your first dose.
Predictability: Chronic symptom management requires a steady, repeatable protocol. This math ensures that one teaspoon of your infusion today provides the same relief as one teaspoon tomorrow.
Customization: As you track your results in your **Dosing Log**, you will find your "Minimum Effective Dose." This calculation allows you to adjust your infusions to perfectly match that target.
