How much THC is in a typical cannabis gummy?
The short answer
Usually about 10 milligrams of THC per gummy. Across the 299 gummy batches in this index whose laboratory certificate prints a per-serving THC value, the median is 9.79mg, and half of all batches land between 9.23mg and 10.16mg: a tight cluster around the 10mg standard serving that adult-use markets like New York set. Packages are most often ten servings, sold as 100mg packs. Where the label's claim can be compared with the lab's measurement (73 batches, a directional sample), gummies run slightly light rather than hot: the median batch measures 5.0% under its label, 75.3% sit within 10% of the claim, and only 5.5% measure more than 10% over it.
What one gummy actually measures
The 10mg serving isn't a marketing convention; it's the regulatory unit adult-use markets standardized on, and the lab data shows producers hitting it closely. The distribution below is every gummy batch in the index with a printed per-serving value (268 New York, 24 Federal hemp market, 7 California).
| Measured THC per serving | Batches |
|---|---|
| 0-2 mg | 0 |
| 2-4 mg | 3 |
| 4-6 mg | 33 |
| 6-8 mg | 0 |
| 8-10 mg | 150 |
| 10-12 mg | 111 |
| 12-14 mg | 0 |
| 14-16 mg | 0 |
| 16-18 mg | 0 |
| 18+ mg | 2 |
Do gummies contain what the label says?
For 73 batches, the product name on the certificate declares the strength (a per-piece figure, or a 100mg ten-serving pack) and the lab prints what it measured, so the two can be compared directly. Call this cohort directional, not definitive: it's under a hundred batches and weighted toward New York. The pattern it shows is consistent, though. Gummies miss low far more often than high, which fits how edibles are made: overshooting THC risks a failed batch and a compliance problem, undershooting mostly doesn't.
- More than 10% under label: 19.2% (14)
- Within 10% of label: 75.3% (55)
- More than 10% over label: 5.5% (4)
Why the certificate beats the label
A label states an intention; a certificate states a measurement of one specific batch. The two drift apart through normal production variance, which is exactly why batch testing exists. If you want the measured number for a product in your hand, search this index by batch number, or follow the certificate's own QR code using the verification guide.
Method
Population: batches categorized as edibles whose product name contains gummy or chew and whose certificate prints a per-serving THC value (299 of 949 gummy batches; the rest report potency only as percentages or totals). Label comparison: the nominal per-serving claim is the name's printed per-piece strength when it is 12.5mg or less, or 10mg for packages labeled 100mg; other package sizes are excluded rather than assumed. All figures recompute from the live dataset at every build and match the downloadable export. Limits: the sample skews toward New York, informational hemp certificates are included only when they print a per-serving value, and a cohort of 73 is reported as directional.
