What number on my edible medical marijuana packages do I use to ensure that I am within my possession limits?

There are often several numbers on an edibles package, including the total weight of the package, which includes all of the contents of the package. Sometimes there will even be an intended or approximate THC content of the package, which is usually a round number integrated into the package design. The number that matters for possession limits is the total THC in the package, not the total weight of the package or an approximate amount noted as part of the package design. The exact total THC in the package can be found on a label with other important information, such as dosage amounts, instructions for use, and all active and inactive ingredients. Total THC for edibles will be listed in milligrams.
