Making THC chocolate at home offers an easy way to create an enjoyable and relaxing product. What's particularly interesting is that you can achieve a gentle but noticeable effect with just 0.2% THC per 30 grams of chocolate. In this blog post, we'll show you how to make a balanced THC chocolate using a simple calculation example, calculating the amount of THC in milligrams (mg).
With a THC content of 0.2%, this means that 0.2 grams (or 200 mg) of THC are contained in 100 grams of the product. In smaller quantities, such as 30 grams of chocolate, the amount of THC contained is naturally lower, but even this low dose can produce a pleasant and relaxing effect.
Let's say you want to make 30 grams of chocolate with a THC content of 0.2%. You'll need a precise amount of THC-infused cannabutter or cannabis oil to achieve this dose.
To find out how much THC should be in your 30 grams of chocolate, we first calculate what 0.2% of 30 grams is.
0.2% of 30 g of chocolate = 0.002 • 30 g = 0.06 g THC
0.06 g THC = 60 mg THC
This means you need 60 mg of THC in your 30 grams of chocolate to reach the 0.2% mark.
Now you need to determine the right amount of your cannabutter or cannabis oil to achieve the 60 mg THC. Let's assume your cannabutter contains 10 mg THC per gram. To calculate the required amount, divide the required 60 mg THC by the THC content of your cannabutter:
60 mg THC ÷ 10 mg THC per gram of cannabutter = 6 grams of cannabutter
This means you need 6 grams of cannabutter with 10 mg of THC per gram to achieve the desired THC content of 60 mg in your chocolate.
Now that you've calculated the right amount of THC-infused cannabutter, you can prepare the chocolate:
Melt 30g of chocolate of your choice in a double boiler until smooth.
Add 6 grams of cannabutter and stir until the butter is completely mixed with the chocolate.
Pour the mixture into a mold and let it set in the refrigerator.
THC chocolate: Enjoy the right dosage
For a 30-gram chocolate bar containing 60 mg of THC, this results in a dosage of 2 mg of THC per gram. This means that a small piece (e.g., 5 grams) contains approximately 10 mg of THC, which is a moderate dose for most consumers.
The effects of THC-containing edibles often take a while to take effect, as the THC is absorbed through the digestive tract. It can take up to 1-2 hours for the effects to become noticeable. Therefore, enjoy the chocolate in small amounts and wait for the effects to take hold before consuming more.
