there's no way that actually contains 2000mg of thc but i'm sure it still contains more than the average edible. Ever wondered why an oz of weed (flower I mean) lasts a really long time but a jar of even dispensary grade gummies doesn't? They probably started with a quantify of raw cannabis that could produce up to 2000mg with perfect yields but decarboxyldation is a chemical process that you don't just get good yields on without trying really hard and getting really scientific and technical about it. Chemistry channels on youtube always get shit yields with (non thc) decarboxylations and that's even with using the best equipment. Putting a baking tray of weed in the oven and hoping for the best is not how you get really high yields and I'd be surprised if any cannabis companies at all are using a more sophisticated process than that.
The smoke shop that sells me gummies says they have 5000mg per package. That's fucking bullshit but it's got to be at least 200 "actual" milligrams which is still cheaper than what 200mg of thc gummies at the dispensary 2 hours away in a different state costs.
