I don’t know about you, but I like to get high (and stay high) whenever I decide to watch a movie. And what better way to accomplish that elevated mindstate than with some marijuana popcorn, am I right? Weed popcorn is one of those “I can’t believe I never thought about this before!” type of edibles. And what’s even better, is learning how to make weed popcorn couldn’t be easier. Like, seriously. It may be the easiest edible recipe you’ll ever make.

Marijuana popcorn is the ideal treat to enjoy during a cinematic experience. Sure, marijuana snacks of any kind could work just as well, but there’s something thematic and “on-brand” about cannabis popcorn that seems to take things to the “next level,” in my opinion. But, before I launch into teaching you how to make weed popcorn, I think it’s only right that we talk about some marijuana movie rules.

First and foremost, read the room, party people.

If it seems like you’re in the midst of similarly chatty people, by all means, continue to point out various things out throughout the viewing experience for a fully immersive time.

However, that’s not always the case. Even if your friends are veteran stoners, some people like quietly losing themselves in the plots and storylines found in films, and any sort of senseless chatter only serves to take them out of that reality, which subsequently, ruins their high.

And you don’t want to ruin someone’s high, do you? I thought not.

Also, when it comes to smoking, I’d say you should fire up a joint (or blunt) as you press play on whatever feature you have decided to watch. That should help set a stoney tone for the first act or so, and if you find yourself in need of some maintenance tokes, don’t roll up another, that is, unless you want to. Instead, simply pack a bowl, and gently pull on it throughout the remainder of the movie. That should keep the high going, while also conjuring up a healthy case of the “munchies,” as well.

Speaking of, what better thing to eat while high during a movie than some marijuana popcorn, am I right?

And, that’s it. Yeah, I’m serious. That’s all you will need to properly pull off this marijuana popcorn recipe.

Now, if you don’t know how to make cannabis-infused butter, it’s incredibly easy, and you can find a recipe for it on this very website. However, you don’t need to concern yourself with creating a batch on your own, as you can just as easily pick up some at your local cannabis club. Personally, I find that that’s the easiest route, but feel free to go about it in any way you see fit.

Instructions

Melt Cannabis-Infused Butter

However you go about getting your cannabis-infused butter, once you have it, you should place about 1-3 tablespoons of it in a microwave-safe bowl. Place it in the microwave for a minute or so, until it fully melts. Once it reaches that desired melted consistency, simply place it to the side for the time being.

Prepare Popcorn

Then, you’re going to want to prepare your popcorn in the microwave, per the usual procedure. When that bag is fully popped and filled with delicious kernels of greatness, you should transfer them into a bowl.
After that, on top of the popcorn, toss in and drizzle your cannabis-infused butter. Make sure to adequately mix it in amongst all of the kernels, to ensure that all of its potency can be enjoyed throughout every bite of this classic cinematic treat.
When you’re happy with how everything is looking, simply head back to your couch, grab your remote, and enjoy your stoney movie experience, with the help of this delicious homemade marijuana popcorn!

Notes

Now, if you go with the suggested dosage mentioned above, you should be able to have a pleasurable experience. However, if you get too confident in your tolerance, and increase the amount of cannabis-infused butter, you may be in for a rather rough experience.

Honestly, how easy was that?! It’s almost criminal that I never thought about this super-quick THC concoction before now. But, I suppose, better late than never, right?

If you are prone to paranoia, anxiety, or mental anguish of any kind, these moments of THC overconsumption can prove to be a bit cumbersome to deal with. But, that said, should you ever find yourself in the throes of a moment of panic, don’t worry. Everything will be absolutely fine.

There’s no such thing as an “overdose” from marijuana. Your body and mind simply weren’t prepared for the sudden onslaught of psychoactivity, so it may be responding in ways you hadn’t anticipated. No problem. Just lay down, grab some water, and try to get some rest. All of those negative effects will flee your body and mind in due time, you’ll just have to ride them out for a while, that’s all. If you do that, you should start to feel better in no time.

But, if you’re looking to avoid such an uncomfortable series of effects in the first place, you can easily do so by taking a gradual approach to your dosing, especially with seemingly unpredictable homemade edibles of this nature. While everything will be absolutely fine no matter what, the experience one endures is dependent on what kind of butter was used, how much was used, the person’s specific tolerance to THC, and their metabolism.

So, a good rule of thumb is to always practice caution with edibles, regardless of whether they are homemade or not. It’s the most foolproof way to ensure that you have a supremely enjoyable edible experience.

Which, at the end of the day, is what we’re all looking for, right?
