How much THC is that, in standard units?

Like standard drinks for alcohol: 1 THC unit is 5 mg of THC. Works for flower, concentrates, edibles and oils.

How it is calculated

Flower and concentrates: mg THC = grams × 1000 × THC% ÷ 100

Edibles: mg THC = mg per piece × pieces

Oils and tinctures: mg THC = mg per ml × ml

Units: units = mg THC ÷ 5. For flower that is the same as 2 × grams × THC%.

This counts the THC in the product, not how much your body absorbs. Smoking, vaping and eating deliver different shares of it, and edibles take longer to act.

The guideline

Adults should not exceed 8 THC units per week to reduce the risk of cannabis use disorder.
