The dose, worked

4 tbsp infused olive oil × 9.87 mg per tbsp = 39.5 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 8 portions = 4.93 mg per serving (1½ tbsp).

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

Oil separates on standing, and the THC is in the oil. Shake every time or the first servings are weak and the last ones strong.

How long does it keep?

A week in the fridge. Let it come to room temperature and shake well before using.
