This tasty snack is perfect for movie nights, parties, or simply satisfying your munchies in a fun and flavorful way. In this guide, we’ll walk you through making your cannabis-infused popcorn and explore various seasoning options to suit your taste buds.
Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients
To make cannabis-infused popcorn, you’ll need the following ingredients:
- Popcorn kernels
- Cannabis-infused oil or butter (learn how to make it here)
- Salt
- Optional seasonings and toppings (more on this later)
Step 2: Choose Your Popping Method
There are several ways to make popcorn, each with its benefits and drawbacks. Here are three popular methods to consider:
Stovetop Method
- Heat a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat.
- Add 2-3 tablespoons of cannabis-infused oil or melted butter to the pot and a few popcorn kernels.
- Once the test kernels pop, add 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels to the pot and cover it with a lid.
- Shake the pot occasionally to ensure even popping and prevent burning.
- When the popping slows down, and there are more than 2 seconds between pops, remove the pot from the heat and let it sit for a minute to allow any remaining kernels to pop.
Air Popper Method
- Follow the instructions for your air popper to make a batch of popcorn.
- Melt your cannabis-infused butter or oil in a small saucepan over low heat.
- Drizzle the melted cannabis-infused butter or oil over the popcorn and toss to coat evenly.
Microwave Method
- Place 1/2 cup of popcorn kernels in a microwave-safe bowl and drizzle with 2-3 tablespoons of cannabis-infused oil or melted butter.
- Cover the bowl with a microwave-safe plate and cook on high for 2-4 minutes or until there are more than 2 seconds between pops.
- Carefully remove the bowl from the microwave, as it will be hot.
Step 3: Season Your Cannabis-Infused Popcorn
Now that you’ve got a fresh batch of cannabis-infused popcorn, it’s time to add some flavor. Start by seasoning your popcorn with salt, then consider adding some of these delicious options:
- Sweet and Spicy: Combine brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and cinnamon for a unique sweet and spicy kick.
- Cheesy: Toss your popcorn with grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder for a savory, cheesy delight.
- Caramel: Drizzle your popcorn with homemade or store-bought caramel sauce for a sticky and sweet treat.
- Chocolate: Melt your favorite chocolate and drizzle it over your popcorn for a decadent dessert-like snack.
- Herbaceous: Mix in some dried rosemary, thyme, or oregano for an aromatic and earthy flavor profile.
Feel free to get creative and experiment with different flavor combinations. The possibilities are endless!
Step 4: Enjoy Responsibly
As with any cannabis-infused edible, it’s crucial to start with a small serving and wait at least an hour before consuming more. Cannabis-infused popcorn can be potent, so knowing your limits and enjoying it responsibly is essential.
Cannabis-infused popcorn is a delicious, versatile snack perfect for spicing up your next movie night or social gathering. With endless flavor combinations and the added kick of cannabis-infused oil or butter, this treat will impress your taste buds and elevate your snacking experience.

Elevate Movie Night: How to Make Infused Popcorn Using Cannabis Stems
Picture this: you’re lounging on the couch, craving something delicious to munch on while watching your favorite show. Instead of reaching for the usual bag of popcorn, why not experiment with something different? Cannabis stems can be the secret ingredient to your perfect popcorn snack. Follow our easy recipe for a delightful treat.
How to Use Cannabis Stems
Stems, those little sticks leftover when you consume cannabis flower or buds, do have THC, although trying to smoke them is not advised. The smoke contains many unwanted compounds due to cellulose in the stem, which also makes stems burn extremely hot.
Just like when using cannabis flower as an ingredient, the THC in the stems must be activated by decarboxylation, which is basically a heating process. THC is not water soluble, but can bind to fats like butter and oils such as coconut oil.
Gather Your Ingredients and Supplies
You will need:
- 2 tablespoons popcorn kernels; enough to make 4 cups popped popcorn
- ¼ stick unsalted butter or ¼ cup coconut oil
- 2 tablespoons (or more) cannabis stems ground into small pieces
- Salt (or your favorite seasoning)
- Baking sheet
- Flower Stampede 4-Layer Cannabis Grinder
- Clean glass container
- Mesh strainer or cheesecloth
Step 1: Make Infused Butter or Oil
Just like making cannabutter for our infused no-bake cheesecake and matzo crunch recipes, to get the THC from the stems into our popcorn, we need to infuse the butter or coconut oil.
Directions:
- Decarboxylate the cannabis stems by spreading them on a baking sheet and baking them at 240°F (115°C) for 40 minutes.
- Grind the decarbed cannabis stems into small pieces to increase the surface area for infusion.
- In a saucepan, melt the unsalted butter or coconut oil over low heat.
- Add the ground cannabis stems to the melted butter or oil and simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes.
- Strain out the cannabis stems: set a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth over a clean container.
- Pour the mixture through the strainer, allowing the infused butter or oil to collect in the container while keeping the stems out. Gently press down on the cannabis stems to extract as much infused goodness as possible.
Now you have your cannabis-infused butter or oil ready to add a magical touch to your popcorn.
Step 2: Make the Popcorn
Follow these simple steps:
- Pop your popcorn using your preferred method.
- While the popcorn is still hot, drizzle the cannabis-infused butter or oil over it. Ensure the popcorn is evenly coated for maximum flavor.
- Sprinkle a pinch of salt or your favorite seasoning to enhance the taste.
Flavor OptionsIt’s easy to customize your infused popcorn with sweet or savory seasons, Here are some variations to try:
- Dust your popcorn with powdered sugar or cinnamon for a sweet sensation
- Add some grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, or even a pinch of chili powder for a savory twist
