More or less, 120mg per slice is correct, as long as they're even slices.

120mg and I would be in a coma lol.
I take 5mg edibles for a light high and 10mg if I'm tryna get messed up. I hope my tolerances never gets so high that it takes 120mg to get me stoned lol.
Yeah the addict/high tolerance gene sucks trust me
I believe it is more tolerance than genetics.
I was gonna point that out, but, I don't know. I think they're aware already. Just hope the dose is clarified.
Something tells me these people knew the dosage was going to help high but weren't certain just how high.
That or their party is gonna get really interesting about an hour after everyone has some cake lol.
So I've wondered about this - back in the dark ages (say late 90s to like, idk, 2017 for our purposes here), your average person had no idea how much THC by % their cannabis was. If you were going off Alice B. Toklas [note] era recipies someone got from an old book or got transcribed on the internet, which were from a time when weed was waaaay weaker, you were using ounces of pretty powerful stuff to make some brownies (though noted many used trim for edibles due to cost). For those who used smokin' buds, which was still a lot of people since most folks don't know growers to get trim, people got high, sure, but the whole "I was blasted into space" thing was usually reserved for those who had like, 3 brownies.
What was up with that, when there's a significant amount of folks who get blasted off of 10 mg in legal markets?
Aside: I ate some cookies one evening a few months back, equating to about ~650 mg THC. I do NOT recommend this, though the next day would have been very chill had I not been called to help with some family member's home reno activities unexpectedly.
edit: It's apparently Alice B. Toklas, whose cookbook was published in the mid-1950s. But I could have sworn there was an Alice B. Tokeless book from the 60s-70s, which was a pseudonym that was both homage and a play on words, that circulated pretty far and which a lot of weed edible recipies on the early web came from. I can find no sign of that now - did I dream this?
I use like 3mg and I’m stone, it’s very sad, but also very cheap
Low tolerance is where it's at. You get high for a few bucks. Meanwhile my old roommate needed to take like 200mg to get high. Idk how she functions tbh.
I use a lot of cannabis. 30mg is where I’m having a pretty decent time. 120mg would make me feel very sick
Awesome! Thanks for confirming.
So complete transparency here. I design the labels for a Coffeeshop in Amsterdam. This is the spacecake the owner has made. The cannabutter is made at home, then the butter is transferred to the baker who makes, portions and wraps the cakes. We get great reviews on Google for the strength and we're very well known for this spacecake.
Oh! That makes perfect sense, then.
I'm pretty sure there's a non negligible loss during decarboxylation (baking), either in the form of unconverted THCA or degradation byproducts. 10-15% maybe?
Haven't heard that, I apply the loss factor based on the extraction (absorption?) medium. So you only get 80% of potential cannabinoids with oil, less with butter.
Yes, also true
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.
