Question about mg of THC (lemmy.world)

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?

It depends on what you're using for the extraction. Coconut oil will retain more cannabinoids than butter. I found one source saying up to 80% of that 120mg is retained if you use coconut oil. I believe butter is more like 60%.

So if you're using coconut oil more like 96mg per cake, if butter more like 72mg.
