Does 1 gram of cannabis that is 20% THC mean that there are 200mg of THC total?

I love the guy in this video discussing THC as a percent of weight, topical information beings 1:30 into video.


 
is there a particular reason you keep posting these copy pastes or whatever that have nothing to do with anything

That's the problem though. First it's not copy and paste but I'm flattered you say that. Second, the question was what does 20% thc mean. The only answer is that 20% thc if 20% of the flower. Grasp that because it's what it is, I said that at the beginning of the post if you look. Then people started talking about THCa, liquid and posting links on other topics.

Bottom line, 20% thc is 20% of the actual flower. If you need proof take in your own test to your own testing facility. In one sample put 2g of bud, in the second put 1g of the same bud and add 1g of fan leaf. Tell the test facility to test this way and tell them why. The second sample will have half the thc content.
 
Lol don't be flattered, that's why I said or whatever. I've put up the study you quoted a couple posts back about thc's metabolism many times... still none of it has anything to do with what is being discussed and your thca comment doesn't even make sense..
THCa is the result not part of the make up? anyway how does then going on about receptor activation that's only partially correct have anything to do with anything
 
But that's dated and not completely correct information. THCa is the result not part of the make up. THC result from its partial agonist activity at the cabbinoid receptor CB1, located mainly in the central nervous system, and the CB2 receptor, mainly expressed in cells of the immune system. The psychoactive effects of THC are primarily mediated by its activation of CB1 G-protein receptors , which result in a decrease in the concentration of the second messenger molecule cAMP through inhibition of adenylate cyclase.

Dude - below is language that I copied and pasted from the Wikipedia page on tetrahydrocannabinol, pharmacology section. See any resemblance to what you posted above? Go fuck yourself!

The pharmacological actions of THC result from its partial agonist activity at the cannabinoid receptorCB1 (Ki=10nM[15]), located mainly in the central nervous system, and the CB2 receptor (Ki=24nM[15]), mainly expressed in cells of the immune system.[16] The psychoactive effects of THC are primarily mediated by its activation of CB1G-protein coupled receptors, which result in a decrease in the concentration of the second messenger molecule cAMP through inhibition of adenylate cyclase.[17]
 
So...

THC is metabolized mainly to 11-OH-THC by the body. This metabolite is still psychoactive and is further oxidized to 11-nor-9-carboxy-THC (THC-COOH). In humans and animals, more than 100 metabolites could be identified, but 11-OH-THC and THC-COOH are the dominating metabolites. Metabolism occurs mainly in the liver bycytochrome P450 enzymes CYP2C9, CYP2C19, and CYP3A4. More than 55% of THC is excreted in the feces and ~20% in the urine. The main metabolite in urine is the ester of glucuronic acidand THC-COOH and free THC-COOH. In the feces, mainly 11-OH-THC was detected.

So... O:-) does that mean if I intake 1g og 20% thc bud that I should find 110mg's in my poop :-P


And of course most of this irrelevant post was taken from the same source, Wikipedia, Tetrahydrocannabinol, Metabolism section:

Sorry if I consider your opinion completely discredited, so it goes for ignorant plagiarists.

Bugeye your a real dushbag. I'm sure your right on the text of my content, word for word it was originally published in 1971, or maybe your right and wiki came up with it.

I explained it really simple for just you but I see your not getting it. I've noticed your a dick in a lot of your post comments anyway. Your just to smart for me, I can't wait to buy your book. Is the title still "Bugweed: Eye Fuck Myself"?
 
Alright bunnyfather aka ProfTerpen. Not sure what your game is but I'm calling you out as a bullshit artist.

You are no one. I've read your post, your logic is gone and your fixed on other people's stupid beliefs. Generally I'd just ignore a moron but I like you. People like you make places like this harmful to young growers that just want to learn. My "game" is something my friend you'll never understand. And most people only call bullshit when they don't understand something and have a disposition to be defensive. You should have that looked at, or find someone that you can get better weed from ;-)
 
20% of dried matter would look like fluffy weed completely covered in triple stacked trichomes, and the stems will even have double stacked trichomes
 
extracts like kief can average 30%+ THC for indica and 70%+ for sativa

just so everyone know THC by itself is extremely lame
 
i did not realise there was confusion

i thought they take a few 100mg samples from a bud and test each sample
each 100mg sample taken from different sections of a given bud contains 20mg of thc
then the bud would be said to be 20% thc
or 20% of the total weight of the sample of bud

peace
