Purchased edibles are notorious for being weak. What we need in this business is a labeling requirement that would give the THC, CBD, and etc percent by weight. Because we don't, we get this "2 dose" reference and the problem is a dose for my wife (lightweight) and a dose for you will not be the same thing. Until we get a standard we will just have to try each and make notes on which is better and how.
The problem with overproduction is constant. Because plants produce more or less then we expect we have to grow more then we want to be sure to get the amount we need. The only solution I have is to be part of a collective or cooperative and be prepared to show that the extra was for other patients. That means (according to the one official that has responded so far) you need full contact information and a copy of the recommendation for enough patients that your total processed on hand does not exceed 8oz per patient. 12 lbs. will require information on 24 patients, you included. I will post more on this when I get a response from my county DA and the State Attorney General in the coming weeks. I personally am timing my grow so I have all the rules down and paperwork in place before harvest. Good luck with yours.
