•    2 Tbsp or more (to taste) of Cannabutter
•    Salt to taste

Instructions

•    Melt Cannabutter over low heat in a small saucepan or in the microwave oven checking not to burn it. (Have fun licking the bowl afterwards as you won’t want to waste any!)
•    Pop the popcorn using your favorite method either stovetop or microwave
•    Place the hot popcorn in a large bowl.
•    Drizzle the melted cannabutter over the popcorn, sprinkle with salt and mix well.   For a more even distribution of the cannabutter and salt put the popped popcorn in a large paper lunch bag add cannabutter and salt and shake.
This version of popcorn tastes great just with the cannabutter and salt but if you want to mix it up a bit try adding some extra flavor.

Parmesan Cheese
•    Sprinkle popcorn with 1/3rd of a cup of finely grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of paprika and ½ teaspoon of crushed red pepper  ( leave out if you don’t want heat) and toss through hot cannabuttered popcorn.

    As far as the Canna-butter goes, couldn’t i just use a gram of average quality Cannabis and microwave it with some butter, and pour it over the popcorn, screening it out with a cloth? Would that work?
    Thank you, this is a great website.

    The basic principal in cooking with cannabis

    1. Most Cannabis-related recipes call for the making of{butter “Cannabis Butter” “Marijuana Butter” “Bud Butter”}, {oil} {milk} which is then used as a replacement for standard (butter, oil, milk) in a cooking Recipes..
    2. Cannabis can be add to any food that contains animal or vegetable fats
    3. when cooking with cannabis you need to ensure that an even spread of cannabis throughout the chosen dish Ingredients.
    4. With a full stomach the cannabis THC will take longer to enter the bloodstream.
    5. cooking with cannabis first extract the THC into a fat, butter or in oil or alcohol.
    6. WARNING: Do NOT use Rubbing Alcohol Rubbing alcohol is “wood alcohol” it is POISONOUS and not the same chemical as grain alcohol. Don’t cook with it! POISONOUS do not combined the Rubbing Alcohol with marijuana to leach out the THC!
    7. 5 grams = 0.18 ounces. this amount by assuming 5 grams is between 1/8 and 1/4 ounces.
    8. All measurement are approximate, when you measure weight in tablespoons, a teaspoon is a measure of capacity not a measurement of weight. You can only measure approximate volume. For example, 1 teaspoon of some heavy material would weigh more than 5 grams
    9. Temperature general rule of thumb is to keep your Cannabis below 275 to 300 degrees to keep from just burning off the THC. THC vaporizes at 190°C. (375 °F) The boiling point of water is 100 °C (212 °F) The boiling point of liquids drops almost 2 degrees F. for each thousand feet above sea level. Cows milk is mostly water, its boiling point will be close to that of water the temperature depending on the fat percentage a bit higher boiling temperatures.
    10. Do not Microwave the (Cannabis powder Flour butter, oil, milk), it will kill the THC.
    11. WARNING: NEVER eat or smoke pot with mold on it marijuana.
