For our gummies, the answer is exact: 1,000mg of THCP per piece — the standard across the 15ct and 96ct jars. The per-piece number is the one that matters for dosing; the per-jar number (15,000mg or 96,000mg) is just count × per-piece. Here’s how to read the label math correctly, and why the per-piece standard is the one worth holding brands to.
The Three Numbers, and Which One to Buy on
- Per piece (the dose number): 1,000mg. This is the number that drives the first dose (¼ piece ≈ 250mg — the dosing chart is built from it) and every subsequent adjustment.
- Per jar (the value number): 15,000mg (15ct) or 96,000mg (96ct). It’s a count comparison, not a potency comparison — the 96ct isn’t 6.4× more potent per gummy, it’s 6.4× the inventory. The bulk math runs the per-piece value comparison.
- Percent of dry weight (the extract number): the COA’s native unit — it describes the concentrate’s purity, not your dose. A “80% THCP” label without a piece weight is undosable; the per-piece mg is the usable number. The numbers guide covers the full unit system.
Why the Per-Piece Standard Matters (The Buyer Protection)
- It makes the first dose a known quantity. A 1,000mg piece means “a quarter is ~250mg” is a fact, not an estimate — the first-timer guide‘s entire protocol depends on the label being exact.
- It’s the number the COA verifies. The batch report states the per-piece potency, and the label claim should match it within normal analytical variance (±10–20% is standard) — the COA reading guide walks the match. A per-piece standard is verifiable; a “premium blend” claim isn’t.
- It’s the comparison axis. Two gummy brands at “1,000mg per piece” are directly comparable (the COAs are the tiebreaker); a “15,000mg jar” vs. a “96,000mg jar” comparison is a count comparison, not a quality one. The per-piece number is the honest axis, and the per-mg cost is the value axis on top of it.
The Dose Math (From the 1,000mg Standard)
| Fraction | THCP | Role |
|---|---|---|
| ⅛ piece | ~125mg | The microdose floor (the microdosing guide) |
| ¼ piece | ~250mg | The first-dose standard / the sleep-routine dose |
| ½ piece | ~500mg | The established-user session |
| Full piece | ~1,000mg | The ceiling of a single session — an event, not a daily unit |
The full dosing protocol: the dosing guide. Batch verification for every jar: the lab reports page (the batch code on the label maps to the report). The per-piece standard is the number the label should give you — if a brand’s gummy label doesn’t state per-piece mg, that’s red flag in the red-flag checklist, and the FAQ has the rest of the label-reading answers.
