1. What is a Cannabis Infused Oil Calculator?

Definition: This calculator estimates the THC concentration in cannabis-infused oil based on the cannabis potency, weight, extraction efficiency, and oil volume.

Purpose: It helps medical cannabis users and producers accurately dose their infused oils for consistent and predictable effects.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the formula:

Where:

• \( THC \) — THC concentration (mg/ml)
• \( THC\% \) — Percentage of THC in cannabis
• \( Weight \) — Weight of cannabis used (grams)
• \( Efficiency \) — Extraction efficiency (decimal, 0-1)
• \( Volume \) — Volume of infused oil (ml)

Explanation: The formula accounts for the conversion of THCA to THC (0.877 factor), converts grams to milligrams (1000 factor), and adjusts for extraction efficiency.

3. Importance of Accurate THC Calculation

Details: Proper THC dosing ensures consistent therapeutic effects, prevents overconsumption, and helps with compliance in medical cannabis programs.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter the THC percentage of your cannabis, the weight used, your estimated extraction efficiency (default 0.85), and the final oil volume. All values must be > 0.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's the 0.877 factor for?
A: This accounts for the molecular weight difference when THCA (acid form) converts to THC during decarboxylation.

Q2: What's a typical extraction efficiency?
A: Most home infusions achieve 70-90% efficiency (0.7-0.9). Professional equipment may reach higher.

Q3: How do I find my cannabis THC percentage?
A: Use lab test results if available, or check strain averages from reputable sources.

Q4: Does this account for different oil types?
A: The calculation works for any oil type (coconut, olive, MCT), as it measures THC per volume.

Q5: How can I make my infusions more consistent?
A: Use precise measurements, control temperatures during infusion, and decarboxylate properly.
