Cannabinoid calculations help your customers know how to pick the product that is right for them.
Different producers and testing facilities use varying methods to calculate the total THC of cannabis products, as there is no official industry standard for this. As a consumer, what someone is most interested in is the amount of THC or CBD that will be available for their consumption. This will depend on the product's content, the method of consumption, and the route of administration. Total THC is supposed to indicate the percentage of THC present after THCA has been converted to THC, based on the dry weight. Since not every THCA molecule will be converted into a THC molecule, and at very high temperatures, some of the THC may degrade into CBN, the process of turning THCA into THC is not 100% efficient.
Figure 3: Three different examples of how people estimate total THC levels. Method 1, which just adds together THCA and THC percentages, is too simplistic and greatly overestimates THC content. Method 2 is the correct way to calculate the maximum potential THC content. Something like Method 3 can be used to account for the fact that not all THCA will end up as consumable THC, but in practice, it’s hard make this calculation. The 0.75 value is what Steep Hill labs uses, but the exact number will depend on several other factors. (Amy Phung/Leafly)
