    To find the potency of your weed pesto, you’re going to need to know the potency of your cannabis-infused cooking oil! If you don’t know this, head over to our cannabis-cooking oil guide. Here we have a calculator at the bottom of the post that will help you determine the total mg of THC per cup.

    Although this recipe calls for 1/2 cup of cannabis-infused oil, please only type the total mg of THC in 1 cup of your oil. This calculator has been programmed specifically for this recipe and it will make the correct calculation automatically.

    Keep in mind, this is just a rough estimate and the potency will differ from person to person.

    Enter the amount of cannabis you are using to infuse butter, oil, milk, etc.

    %

    If your cannabis has a THC content of 25%, type 25

    How much of the activated ingredient will you use in your infusion?

    -
    mg

    This is the amount of mg of THC in the entire extract.

    Enter the amount of infused tablespoons your recipe calls for (1 cup = 16 tablespoons)

    serv

    Enter the total number of pieces or portions your recipe will make (e.g., 12 brownies, 8 cookies)

    -
    THC mg per Serv

    Decarboxylation doesn't have 100% efficiency and it typically 70-90%. This means about 10-30% of potential THC is lost. This is a rough estimate on your edible potency.
