The dose, worked

1 tsp cannabis sugar × 2.76 mg per tsp = 2.8 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 1 portions = 2.76 mg per glass.

Theoretical maximum: it assumes complete decarboxylation (THCA × 0.877) and that every milligram ends up in the food. Real yield is usually lower, which is why you start with one portion and wait. Re-run the maths for your flower →

Dosing notes

Dissolve the sugar fully. Undissolved grains at the bottom are the dose you did not drink, until the last sip.

Can I make a jug?

Only if you measure the sugar per glass as you pour. A jug sweetened with several teaspoons is impossible to portion once stirred.

Educational content, not medical advice. Effects vary with body weight, tolerance and what else you have eaten. Label infused food with the milligrams per portion and the date, and keep it away from children and pets.
