Figuring Out Total Available THC from Flower
When buying flower, most people will look for THC and CBD percentages. Typically flower will have a % of THC, but this percentage will be a bit lower since it has not gone through the decarb process. THCA% will be larger because it's more abundant in flower until it has gone through the decarb process. Total THC % is an estimate of the maximum potential THC content a product will have after it has gone through the decarb process.
To calculate the "total possible amount" of THC in a particular product, use this formula:
(0.75 × 0.877 × %THCA) + %THC
0.75 = loss from decarb | 0.877 = weight difference
