You know that moment when you're staring at your stash, calculator in hand, wondering, "Wait… what's 45.5% of 3.3 again? "Yeah. Same.
Welcome to my world, babe. I'm Anonymous Joe—SoCal born, slightly sun-kissed, majorly curious, and always down to break down the weird, the wild, and the wonderfully hazy world of cannabis. Today we’re talking percentages, potency, and the surprisingly sexy math behind your favorite green.
The Percent Game (A.K.A. How Potent Is That Pot, Actually?)
Let’s talk THC percentages for a sec. You’ve seen those numbers on your labels—23%, 31%, maybe even something crazy like 37% (spoiler: that’s usually BS). But what do they actually mean?

If you’ve got a 3.3g pre-roll and the label says 45.5% THC, what you're holding is basically a mini rocket ship. Here's the math:
3.3g x 45.5% THC = 1.5015g of pure THC
That’s a lot. And if you’re like me, microdosing your way through the day with style and snacks, you’re not smoking that whole thing at once (unless you’re trying to meet aliens before breakfast).

But if you’re new to this, remember: more THC doesn’t always mean better. It's like hot sauce—just because it's spicy doesn’t mean it's flavorful. Terpenes, cannabinoids, and how you consume all affect your experience.
It's Not Just About the THC, Babe
Let’s get real. Some of the best highs I’ve ever had were from flower under 20% THC—but LOADED with terpenes like myrcene (hello couch-lock) or limonene (bright, zesty euphoria).
Plus, some of the new kids on the block—like water-based cannabis extracts (looking at you, NanoFusion tech)—are changing the game. Faster onset, cleaner taste, and precise dosing? Yes, please. That bitter aftertaste? Girl, we don’t know her anymore.
Joe’s Quickie Cannabis Math (for when you’re too high to math)
Want to know how much THC is in your edible?Dose (mg) = Total mg x % of THC in product
Trying to portion your pre-roll into microdose sessions? Divide total THC by how many tokes you plan to take. Multiply by how brave you feel.
Feel like impressing your date with stoner stats? Casually mention how 54.5% of 3.3 equals 1.7985 grams of THC and wink. Trust me.
High Math, Higher Standards
Bottom line? Math is your friend. Especially when it helps you understand your cannabis, dose safely, and have a reliably great time. Whether you’re rolling deep, flying solo, or infusing your smoothies with adaptogens and terps (oh hey wellness girlie), knowing what’s in your stash is power. And the best part? You don’t have to be a chemist to enjoy cannabis—you just have to be curious.
“Remember Chill Cannabis Math, we got this new 4.20”
So here’s to better highs, smarter math, and always asking the right questions (even if you’re doing it with one eyebrow raised and a vape in hand).
Stay lifted, stay lovely,
