How Much THC Is in a Blunt, Joint, or Hit?
A blunt holds roughly 150 to 300mg of THC, a joint about 30 to 90mg, and a single hit only a few milligrams, since most of it burns off or is not absorbed. These are ballpark figures: the real amount depends on how much flower is packed and its potency, and you absorb far less than the total because of smoke loss.
The math starts with the flower. A joint holds about a third to half a gram of cannabis, and a blunt often packs one to two grams. At a typical 15 to 20 percent THC, a half-gram joint carries roughly 75 to 100mg of total THC and a one-gram blunt around 150 to 200mg, scaling up with size and potency. Those are the amounts present, not the amounts you feel. Combustion destroys a large share of the THC, and more is lost to side-stream smoke and exhaling, so the absorbed fraction from smoking lands near 25 to 30 percent. A single hit transfers only a few milligrams of usable THC.
For dosing, the absorbed amount matters more than what is packed. A few puffs of a joint might deliver 5 to 10mg of usable THC, which is why smoking is easier to titrate than an edible: effects arrive in minutes, so you can stop once you reach your personal threshold. If you want a known, exact dose instead of a shared guess, that is the case for gummies or a measured vape. Potency labels on flower give the percentage, and multiplying by the weight gives the total THC before any smoke loss.
Frequently asked questions
How Much THC Is in a Blunt, Joint, or Hit?
A blunt holds roughly 150 to 300mg of THC, a joint about 30 to 90mg, and a single hit only a few milligrams, since most of it burns off or is not absorbed. These are ballpark figures: the real amount depends on how much flower is packed and its potency, and you absorb far less than the total because of smoke loss.
How much THC is in a joint?
A typical half-gram joint contains roughly 75 to 100mg of total THC at average potency, but smoke loss means you absorb only a fraction, often 25 to 30 percent of that.
How much THC is in one hit?
Only a few milligrams of absorbed THC per puff. Most of the THC in the smoke is lost to combustion and exhaling, so a single hit is a small, hard-to-measure dose.
How much THC is in a blunt versus a joint?
A blunt packs more flower, often one to two grams against a joint's third to half gram, so a blunt can carry 150 to 300mg of total THC to a joint's 30 to 90mg.
Do you absorb all the THC when you smoke?
No. Smoking delivers roughly 25 to 30 percent of the flower's THC to your bloodstream. The rest burns off or is exhaled, so the label total overstates the dose you feel.
