Easy Do-It-Yourself (DIY) Guide for Producing Cannabis Oil and Bath Salts

As cannabis gains more and more popularity, even cannabis non-smokers are starting to realize its benefits. Today, you can easily access a variety of cannabis moisturizers, lotions, creams, balms, and bath salts. In states where weed is legal, any selling point for hemp-based CBD oils will most likely have CBD-infused bath salts.

While ready-made cannabis bath salts have exceptional relaxation benefits and pain relief effects, they don’t come cheap.

Luckily, you can make your own CBD-infused bath salts at a lesser cost compared to what you’d spend on readymade bath salts. Furthermore, the processes are incredibly simple to DIY.

How to Make Your Own Cannabis Bath Salt

Making a cannabis bath salt is a 2-step procedure. First, you have to make cannabis oil – This is the same oil you’d use to make different topicals or edibles. Combining the cannabis oil with a few other ingredients will give you the actual cannabis bath salts. The same applies when making weed brownies or chewy candies.
