DOSING CALCULATION
────────────────────────
Assumptions:
• Flower: 5 g @ 15% THC
• Decarb efficiency: 90%
• Infusion efficiency: 65%
Calculation:
• 5 × 0.15 × 1000 = 750 mg THC
• After decarb: 675 mg
• After infusion: ~440 mg total
PER SERVING:
• 440 mg ÷ 6 ≈ 7 mg THC per portion
BEGINNER DOSE:
• Start with ½ portion (~3–4 mg)
• Wait 2 full hours before increasing

BEST MATCH:
• Terpenes: Linalool, Limonene
• Why: Floral calm + gentle brightness complements vanilla
STRAIN EXAMPLES:
• Lavender
• Gelato
• Orange Creamsicle
