There is, quite literally, a myriad of things a person can do after partaking in some marijuana. The possibilities are truly endless. However, no matter what activity you chose as a post-smoke-session event, cannabis always makes it more enjoyable. Which, to be honest, is probably one of the reasons this herb is so beloved across the globe.

Instructions
- Okie dokie, party people. Before we hit play on that cued up movie, let’s head into the kitchen with these aforementioned ingredients, and whip up a batch of some super delicious, super-strong marijuana popcorn. The first thing we’ll need to do is make some cannabis-infused butter. That’s where all our potency is going to come from. Plus, who doesn’t love some buttery popcorn?
- In order to make some infused butter, you’ll want to have your saucepan on a heat setting of 240° – no more, no less.
- Then, add roughly a cup or so of some ground-up cannabis. You can obviously tweak the portions of this ingredient. Seeing as how this is where the strength of your butter will come from, it’s important to know your temperament with edibles, and how much you are looking to “feel” when you finally dig into this batch of greatness. So, if you want to add in more (or less), that’s completely up to you.
- This specific heat setting allows the THC in the cannabis to transform into the psychoactive component, THC. Also, after a bit of time (20 or so minutes), you’ll have fully readied these buds to share their powerful effects with any medium lucky enough to combine with it. In this case, it’ll be some butter.
- At this point, you’ll want to grab that butter and toss it in the saucepan with the cannabis flower. Allow these two to mix and mingle with one another for a good amount of time, and be sure to keep stirring throughout. This will help distribute the THC amongst its new buttery home, allowing each drop of butter to pack its own punch.
- Before any cannabis or butter burns, remove the saucepan from the heat source, and ready your container and cheesecloth. Place the cheesecloth over the opening of the container and keep it in place with the help of some rubber bands or string. Then, carefully pour the contents of that saucepan into the container, straining out the large floral fragments.
- Boom. You just made cannabis-infused butter. Way to go.

Now, in any other case, you’d throw that newly-filled container in the fridge to harden, until it reached a “butter” consistency. But, seeing as how we’re going to want melted butter on top of our movie-going treat, we’ll just put it to the side for the moment, while we fire up our popcorn.
Which is, by far, the easiest step ever.
Simply throw in your preferred bag of popcorn into the microwave (or, on the stovetop – if you’re “old school”). Then hit that familiar “popcorn” setting, and patiently wait for each kernel to pop. Once that’s done, remove it from the microwave and dump that popcorn into a waiting bowl.
You can also choose to keep it in the bag for this last step, but I find tossing it in a bowl helps the infused butter spread its greatness more efficiently. But, to each their own, I suppose.
However you choose to present your popcorn, you’ll now want to grab that container of infused melted butter and expertly drizzle as much (or as little) as you’d like. And give that bowl a toss or two to help each kernel get a healthy dose of butter.
Or, if you kept your popcorn in the bag, simply pinch the top closed, and shake them bad boys up, until every bite is covered in cannabis excellence.
And that’s it. Nothing left to do but grab a seat (and a handful), and press play.
Enjoy the movie!
