In today’s cannabis market, potency is a hot topic. The idea of a product delivering 60 percent THC—that is, a concentration of THC by weight approaching two-thirds—often captures attention. This article, produced by Flame, explains what that figure would mean in practice, especially for edibles like gummies, and how to shop responsibly at a local dispensary.

A key distinction matters for consumers: percent THC by weight versus milligrams of THC per serving. Concentrates such as distillates or isolates can be high-percentage products—60 percent THC and higher are not unusual in some extracts. However, when those extracts are used to make edibles, the final product’s potency is typically conveyed as milligrams of THC per gummy or per package, not as a percent by weight. For example, a gummy might contain 5–20 mg of THC per piece, and packages commonly range from 5 to 50 mg per serving, depending on local regulations and product design. The finished gummy’s percent-by-weight THC is usually a small fraction of a percent, because the rest of the gummy is sugar, gelatin, flavoring, and other ingredients. In contrast, an extract labeled 60 percent THC refers to the extract itself, not the entire edible product.

• Flower and traditional cannabis products: Potency is often described as a percentage of THC in the plant material—commonly in the teens to low 30s for many strains, with higher-THC cultivars entering the 40s or 50s in some cases.  
• Concentrates: Distillates and isolates can exceed 60 percent THC, and some products approach 90 percent. These are used to manufacture edibles or to dab, vape, or cook with in controlled doses.  
• Edibles and gummies: Edibles typically list potency per serving in milligrams. A single gummy might range from 5 mg to 25 mg or more, with packages designed around daily dosing guidelines. This dosing approach makes it easier for users to gauge effects and manage tolerance. If a label claims unusually high percentages, read the COA (certificate of analysis) and mg-per-serving information to understand the actual dose.

• Dosing: A product marketed with a very high THC concentration in the extract phase requires careful dosing during manufacturing and consumption. For consumers, mg-per-serving information is the most reliable guide to effects.  
• Effects and safety: Higher potency increases the risk of stronger psychoactive effects, anxiety, dizziness, or impaired coordination. Beginners should start with low-dose products and wait to feel the effects before consuming more.  
• Labeling and regulation: Reputable products carry third-party COAs that verify potency and safety. In regions with regulated markets, these tests are essential for confirming that the mg per serving matches the label and that contaminants are within accepted limits.

If you’re in or near Santa Rosa and exploring options, a THC gummies Santa Rosa dispensary can be a reliable resource for product education, dosing guidance, and COA access. When evaluating products, consider:

• COA and third-party testing: Look for clear potency data and contaminant tests.  
• Serving size and mg per piece: Compare what you’re buying to your tolerance and previous experiences.  
• Labels and packaging: Check the recommended usage, ingredients, and storage instructions.  
• Reputable brands and local legality: Confirm the product is sold through licensed retailers and complies with state and local regulations.

Practical Buying Tips

• Start low, go slow: If you’re new to edibles, begin with 5 mg or less and wait at least 1–2 hours before considering another dose.  
• Track potency per serving: Use mg-per-piece information to plan dosing for a consistent experience.  
• Verify COAs: Request or download the certificate of analysis for the batch you’re buying to confirm potency and safety.  
• Consider the setting and tolerance: Higher-potency products are best used in familiar environments and by experienced users.

The notion of 60 percent THC is more representative of extracts than finished gummies, and the final edible’s strength is best understood in mg per serving. For consumers, especially those visiting a THC gummies Santa Rosa dispensary, prioritizing COAs, clear dosing information, and responsible use will lead to safer, more predictable experiences. If you’re navigating potency decisions, seek guidance from knowledgeable staff and start with small doses to discover what works best for you.
