    High Honey-Sriracha Popcorn

    No cannabis? No problem—skip it and you’ll still have a killer spicy-sweet popcorn. But for those that want to partake, make sure you use only 1/2 teaspoon baked herb in this recipe (you'll have about 1 1/2 teaspoons leftover for another use). And go slow! This stuff is delicious, but you want to start with a little over a cup and wait at least an hour before having more—it often takes that long to feel the effects.
