If you're smoking a joint<\/a> to enjoy the psychoactive effects of THC<\/a>, then you might want to know how much of the potent cannabinoid is in a typical smoke. Here you'll learn how to calculate the amount of THC in a joint and understand what percentage of the cannabinoid your body is actually processing.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\tHow do you calculate the milligrams of THC in a joint?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

First, let's define a key term: bioavailability. <\/strong>Bioavailability refers to the proportionate active effect of any drug or substance entering the body. In simpler terms, your body is unlikely to absorb all of the available compounds in any given substance. Prescription medications, vitamin supplements, and food and beverages all have a certain bioavailability when circulating through the body. THC also has a measurable amount of bioavailability, depending on how much your body absorbs rather than how much is present in the joint.  <\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
