Re:Prenatal THC exposure yields hyperdopaminergic phenotype ... by Pete_D on Wednesday October 23, 2019 @03:14PM (#21337834)
Study says: "... we modeled PCE by administering THC (2 mg per kg, subcutaneously (s.c.) once daily) to rat dams during pregnancy (from gestational day (GD) 5 until GD20). This low THC dose does not recapitulate behavioral responses in the can-nabinoid tetrad assay or elicits cannabinoid tolerance after repeated administration, hence it represents a mild insult without any substantial direct impact on maternal behavior. ... In terms of human consumption, this dose is equivalent to THC content in mild cannabis cigarettes (joints) (5%), since the average THC content in illicit cannabis preparations has significantly increased in the last two decades (from ~4% to ~12%)."

The figure quoted is a concentration (5%), not a dose.

How much actual THC did the rats ingest? That's the question.

Fair enough, another commenter already gave 2mg/kg, but I should have quoted it too really. Edited with more detail.
