Cajun's Dosing Calculations

To answer some PM's & to the more cerebral types:
There's a big difference in your "target dose" & your actual "therapeutic dose".

Some "advanced oiling"-

So, if you know the THC % of your oil, the calcs are easy. I realize that most ppl don't have their oil tested, but it's getting cheaper & easier everyday. I predict that testing will be even more commonplace soon.

Anyway, say your cco has tested as 88.6%.
You've decided by research or advise that you want a target dose of say 300mg/day. Maybe a more beginner's dose. And, to cover the illness, you dose 5x a day.

Your dosage/day in grams would be 300/88.6= 0.34g.
Your dosage/dose would then be 0.34/5 (the 5 comes from # times a day you dose) = 0.068g.

So, your actual therapeutic dose would be 68mg. (from the 0.068 above, moving the decimal place & rounding off). So, 0.068 to 68 to 70 (rounding off to simplify measuring).
So, your therapeutic dose is 70mg, 5x a day.

But, Cajun told ya to use 80% in suppositories & 20%, the rest, tacking & orally.

Easy enough.

80% of 70mg= 56mg, 55mg rounded off, for suppositories.
20% of 70mg= 14mg, 15mg after rounding off.

Finally, you would use 55mg, 5x a day in suppositories.
15mg, 5x a day for tacking & oral ingestion.

You notice that our theradose of 70mg, 5x a day is 50mg larger than our target dose of 300mg?

That is due to the THC content of 88.6%.

Crap, got a headache now...

Well, that's it for the Magnet Program & Advanced Oiling tonight. Lol.
Get a good night's sleep.
