Cannabis product labels are required by Maryland law to include THC content, serving size, and total servings per package. That information is useful — but only if you can read it. Different products express potency differently: some show total milligrams, some show percentage by weight, and tinctures often require a concentration calculation. This tool makes the arithmetic transparent.
Reading a Certificate of Analysis (COA)
Licensed Maryland dispensaries are required to make batch-specific Certificates of Analysis available. A COA reports the measured cannabinoid content for a specific batch tested at a licensed laboratory — it is more precise than the label when the label uses a range or estimate.
When you use this tool, confirm the numbers you enter match the COA or the current product label — not generic values from an internet search. Potency can differ significantly between batches.
