What does Strength stand for?
Strength: %, mg/g and mg/ml
How much THC or CBD a product contains. Flower is labelled as a percentage of its weight: 22% is 220 milligrams in each gram. Oils are labelled in milligrams per millilitre, cartridges in milligrams per gram or millilitre, and pastilles in milligrams each. Labels give a range, such as 19.8 to 24.2%, because a natural product varies from batch to batch.
