# Cannabis KnowledgeTools 

Five little helpers to better classify cannabis — from THC content to vaporizer temperature. All calculations run directly in your browser, no data is stored.

**General orientation — no dosage recommendation.** These tools are for informational and educational purposes only. They do **not replace medical, pharmaceutical, or therapeutic advice** and do not constitute an individual dosage recommendation or instructions for use. Active ingredient amounts, tolerance, and interactions vary greatly among individuals. Consult your doctor or a qualified professional before any use.

Tool 1

## THC Quantity Calculator

Calculate the THC mass in milligrams from quantity and THC content.

Quantity (grams)

THC content (%)

Contained THC amount

100 mg

With 0,5 g with 20 % THC.

**Calculation:** THC (mg) = Quantity (g) × 1,000 × THC content (%) ÷ 100.

Example: 0.5 g with 20 % THC corresponds to 100 mg THC in the plant material by calculation. **Note:** The amount of THC actually absorbed by the body ("bioavailable") is significantly lower depending on the form of consumption and individual factors.

Tool 2

## Onset & Duration of Effect

Choose the form of consumption and view the typical effect curve.

InhalationOralSublingual

### Typical timeline

e.g., vaporizer, dried flowers 

0h 1h 2h 4h 6h 8h 

Onset  Active Duration 

Onset

1–10 Min.

Duration

2–4 Hrs.

When vaporizing or smoking, THC quickly enters the bloodstream through the lungs. The effect sets in rapidly, but also subsides comparatively early.

Information provided consists of rough guidelines from specialist literature. Actual values depend on dosage, strain, individual metabolism, full/empty stomach, and application form, among other factors.

Tool 3

## "Start low, go slow"

The general principle for careful titration.

"Start low, go slow" is an internationally established cautionary principle, mainly originating from medical cannabis use. The idea behind it: it is better to start with a very small amount and increase it slowly, rather than underestimating the effect. This way, unwanted effects such as restlessness, nausea, or circulatory problems can be better avoided.

1.  1
    
    ### Start low
    
    Start with the smallest possible amount — thus less than what you would intuitively consider "normal." Better too little than too much.
    
2.  2
    
    ### Wait for onset
    
    Wait for the full onset of effect of the chosen form of consumption before even considering a redose (see Tool 2).
    
3.  3
    
    ### Go slow
    
    Increase only in small steps and with sufficient time between increases. Make changes over days rather than within a single session.
    
4.  4
    
    ### Observe & document
    
    Note effects, side effects, and time of day. These observations are valuable for discussion with your doctor.

Tool 4

## Edibles Dosage Calculator

Estimate the THC amount per serving in homemade edibles.

Cannabis (grams)

THC content (%)

Transfer Rate (%)How much of the THC actually transfers from the plant material into the fat/oil or into the finished edible. Strongly depends on decarboxylation, extraction time, temperature, and filtration. Typical empirical value: 50–80%. Preset to 70%. 

Servings

Total THC in Recipe

525 mg

Per Serving

43.8 mg

High serving dose

Strong effect with increased risk of unwanted side effects. Handle with caution.

**Calculation:** Total THC (mg) = Quantity (g) × 1,000 × THC content (%) ÷ 100 × Transfer Rate (%) ÷ 100. Per Serving = Total THC ÷ Number of Servings.

**Estimates only.** Homemade edibles vary greatly in active ingredient content and distribution — from batch to batch and even within a single recipe. Start with a small portion, wait for the full onset of effect (1–2 hours), and redose only very cautiously. No dosage recommendation, no substitute for medical advice.

Tool 5

## Vaporizer Temperature Guide

Find the right temperature range for a specific terpene or desired effect.

By EffectBy Terpene

Focus & ClarityCreative & relaxedRelaxationSleep & SedationPain ReliefMood enhancement

Recommended range · Medium

180–200 °C

Linalool and CBD unfold in the medium range. Fuller flavor, more noticeable effect. Limonene, Linalool, CBD and CBN are added - a balanced combination of physical relaxation and mental effects.

**General guidance.** The temperatures listed are literature guidelines and may vary depending on the device, material, and study source. It's best to start at the lower end and gradually increase the temperature. No dosage or consumption recommendation — no substitute for medical advice.
