Cannabis-Infused Emerald Pickleback Popcorn with White Cheddar Dust

Late-night munchies meet Irish pub vibes with this bold, tangy popcorn snack. Inspired by the classic pickleback shot, this version tosses freshly popped popcorn with a cannabis-infused butter glaze, dill pickle seasoning, and sharp white cheddar powder. Salty, tangy, and perfectly portioned for sharing.
