Dosing Tips for Your Cannabis Tortilla Chips with Salsa
- Calculate total THC in your cannabis_oil batch and divide by the exact number of bites you form for precise per-piece dosing.
- Keep each bite at 2.5-5 mg so guests can eat one or two and stay within a comfortable range.
- Use a small cookie scoop or tablespoon measure to ensure every bite is the same size and therefore the same dose.
- Savory bites are snackable and easy to overeat. Set out a controlled number per person and store the rest.
- The cannabis oil is brushed onto each chip before baking; use equal amounts per chip and count your chips to manage your dose.
