Hello friends

I have a friend who makes space cake edibles

We use 20grams of weed in the butter which will make 20 slices of cake… Essentially each slice contains and average of 1gram of weed.

The weed contains on average 12%THC

How many mg (milligrams) of THC is in each slice on average?

I believe it is 120mg THC per slice.

Can anyone confirm please?

    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.

      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?
