The dose, worked

4 tbsp low-dose cannabutter × 9.87 mg per tbsp = 39.5 mg THC (theoretical) ÷ 10 portions = 3.95 mg per slice.

Theoretical maximum: it assumes complete decarboxylation (THCA × 0.877) and that every milligram ends up in the food. Real yield is usually lower, which is why you start with one portion and wait. Re-run the maths for your flower →

Dosing notes

Ten slices, not 'about ten'. Mark them.

Can I sweeten the drizzle with cannabis sugar?

Yes: 60 g of cannabis sugar is about 15 teaspoons, which adds roughly 40 mg to the loaf. Recalculate and re-label.
