When we started this website, we only had Cannabis Potency Calculators. Now we have an array of calculators that we are very excited to share with you!
Remember, you can use these calculators for our recipes throughout our site, OR, if you are feeling adventurous enough, use the calculators for your OWN favorite recipes in your OWN kitchen!
We will tell you a secret, the best way to use this website is to infuse your staple ingredients first. This includes your basics like butter, oil, milk and sugar. Once you have a base of staples infused with cannabis flower then you are ready to go!
HINT: You can maximize cannabis medical benefits WITHOUT getting high! There are many reasons why you would want to use ONLY flower that is CBD dominant (the part that does not produce psychedelic effects) and we support those decisions 100% of the time!
Many of our recipes suggest tossing in ground decarbed cannabis flower, but for a smooth infusion, using infused staple ingredients allows for better guarantees of a more even infusion throughout the entire batch. How sad would it be if you made a whole pan of brownies and a huge clump of cannabis flower ended up in one corner of the pan and you don’t know which corner?? Cannabis roulette anyone?

Introduction to our Calculators
Below you will find one or more calculators inserted into this post applicable to the above recipe. Before you get started, here are some helpful tips on how to maximize our calculators throughout Grass with Class. Click on the 🤖 Bot Headlines 🤖 below to expand explanations to maximize every aspect of Grass with Class: Cooking with Cannabis.
🤖 How do I read my flower label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓.
🕵Look at the Potency Percentage Profile on your Flower Label. Depending on the dominancy of the flower (CBD or THC) there will be a line that says either THCA% or CBDA%.
🕵Look for the letter “A” at the end of THC or CBD line item on the label. This is the raw, non-decarboxylated originating estimated potency for your newly purchased flower. Search for the line item on your label that says either “THCA” or “CBDA” depending on the dominant flower you are using. The numbers for this line item will be in the format of two digits a decimal point and two more digits.
👉💡 For example “CBDA 15.75% or THCA 18.72%”. Enter your label percentage into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.
🤖 Wait, What? A Flower Label? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
If you have “lost” your label 😉, your flower THCA% or CBDA% will range roughly between 15.00% to 25.00%.
👉💡 If you know the strain of your flower, you can look up the general cannabanoid profiles that are typical for that particular strain such as Bubba Kush or Terple Purple. If you have lost your label and you do not know the flower strain, your guess is as good as ours! 🫠
👉💡 If you cannot identify your flower strain type, Betsy Bot recommends that you enter the “ceiling” or highest estimated percentage of 25.00%. per mg/g of flower. Enter this into the calculator fields that call for flower label deets.
👉💡Remember, you can always consume more but you cannot consume less.
🤖 Decarboxylate? 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
📌ALL of our Potency Form Calculators assume that you intend to OR already have DECARBOXYLATED your flower. If you do not know how to decarboxylate your flower, Betsy Bot or our FAQs can help you with this step before moving on to your staple ingredient infusion.
👉💡You may notice that the potency of your flower goes down when you decarboxylate, HOWEVER, the bio-availability of flower benefits go UP when you decarb your flower.
👉🧬The decarbed flower bioavailability provides a much better experience for the diner as well as maximizes the medicinal benefits of the flower itself.
🤖 Measuring Flower 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
🌿🌳Our calculators help you determine the approximate milligrams of potency per one (1) Gram of Flower Weight.🌳🌿
📌NOTE: A scale is extremely helpful to weigh your flower plant matter. Kitchen scales and jewelry scales (for micro-dose measurements) are recommended for this PFC.
👉💡Determining your starting milligrams calculation works for both CBD and THC Dominant Flower.
🤖 Flower Weight Guide 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
⚖ 1/8 ounce of Flower = 3.5 grams in weight
⚖ 1/4 ounce of Flower = 7 grams in weight
⚖ 1/2 ounce of Flower = 14 grams in weight
⚖ 1 whole ounce of Flower = 28 grams in weight
🤖 Play Tips 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
🤹PLAY with different flower weights in this calculator until you find the dose you want.
👉💡 For example: If you want to use your herb garnish for 5 servings at 10 mg per serving then your batch of ground flower buds needs to equal at least 50 mg of CBD or THC total, depending on flower dominancy.
👉💡FORMULA: 50 / 5 = 10

🤖 Plan Ahead 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
If you are going to use a Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredient infusion to infuse another treat or meal, plan ahead and make sure your Primary or Secondary Staple Ingredients are potent enough to withstand levels of dilution for your next infusion creation. Your portion potencies will become diluted in larger batch incorporations.
Examples of planning ahead include:
👉💡 adding infused sugar to a batch of cookies
👉💡 incorporating maltodextrin powder into a cake mix
👉💡adding infused honey to sweet & sour sauce
👉💡making deviled eggs with mayonaise
🤖 A Note on Labels 🤖 Click here to expand this topic 🔓
📌 DO NOT FORGET! Make SURE to label your final infusion! The more experienced you become with infusions, the more you will rely on your labels for meals and treats!
📌An example of a final label to stick to your zip lock bag or Tupperware container when using CBD or THC Dominant Flower will look like this:
366.52 mg CBD or THC for entire batch
22.91 mg CBD or THC per Tablespoon portion.
