Milligrams and milliliters are not interchangeable. Milligrams, abbreviated mg, describe a mass, such as a labeled amount of THC. Milliliters, abbreviated mL, describe a volume, such as the amount of liquid in a serving.
Connect the two using the label
A liquid product can state both a serving volume and a cannabinoid amount for that serving. You need that relationship to understand the product. A 30 mL serving does not automatically contain 30 mg of THC.
As a hypothetical example, a label could specify 2 mg of THC in a 10 mL serving. The numbers refer to different things: 10 mL is the liquid measurement, while 2 mg is the stated THC amount. Neither number is a recommendation to consume that quantity.
Avoid measurement shortcuts
Use the manufacturer’s stated measuring method for multi-serving products. Do not substitute a bottle cap or an unmarked pour for a specified volume. If directions are unclear, ask for help before preparing the drink.
- Look for the unit immediately after every number.
- Keep serving volume separate from THC amount.
- Check whether the figures describe one serving or the entire bottle.
