The Easiest Cannabis Bath Melts Recipe

I’ve been hard at work with my freelance cannabis clients and my new-ish role as an editorial assistant at MJ Brand Insights. I finally had a chance to get crafty this weekend and made a bunch of cannabis-infused products with the help of my Levo Oil infuser. I’ve talked about how this machine helps me make all of my infused goodies like cannabis pain salves and bath bombs, but I promise you this - you can make all of these things without the machine too. I’ll show you how to make my favorite creation from this weekend with my cannabis bath melts recipe.


My cannabis bath melts use shea butter, infused coconut oil, essential oils, and dried lavender, and orange zest. The result? The most soothing, aromatic, and comforting bath product I’ve made for myself yet. I used this the night after I got my COVID booster and was feeling super achy, and it took away all the discomfort and allowed me to get a full night’s sleep.

A flat lay showing coconut oil, a tea cup, two small vials, a cannabis product bag, and four silicone soap molds.

Here’s what you need:


  • 1/3 cup shea butter
  • 3 tbsp cannabis-infused coconut oil (I’ll show you how to do this later)
  • several drops of essential oils
  • dried lavender, orange zest, or other appropriate plant material
  • molds (I use soap-making molds and fill them halfway to make thin disks)


Making the cannabis bath melts is easy.


  1. With a Levo Oil infuser: add the coconut oil into a mixing bowl after it comes out of the machine and is still very warm. Add shea butter and mix the two until you have a pancake batter-like texture.

    Without a Levo Oil infuser:
    place your coconut oil and shea butter in a tightly sealed, heat-proof jar and submerge the jar boiling water for a few minutes until the contents are melted. Pour into a mixing bowl.


           2. Mix several drops of lavender and orange essential oils in the mix until you like the smell.


          3. Stir in 1 tbsp of dried lavender and 1 tbsp of orange zest.


            4. Fill your molds and sprinkle the top with a layer of additional orange zest and lavender.


            5. Pop in the refrigerator for 2-3 hours before use.


Cannabis bath melts storage

If you live somewhere cold, you’re probably fine to leave the bath melts out once they’re set up. To avoid any messes, though, I’d recommend keeping them in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them. I left mine out overnight in 45-ish degree Fahrenheit weather and woke up to a very soft bath melt that couldn’t hold its shape very well.

How to make cannabis coconut oil

My recipes are usually pretty simple and allow for lots of experimentation and change. I don’t have an exact dose for your specific needs, but I can tell you what I did.


I used 1/2 ounce of ground cannabis infused in two cups of coconut oil. The result has been a pleasantly potent oil that I can use for a variety of purposes. Because the math was getting too confusing for me, I decided to let this batch of coconut oil come without a recommended dose. Your mileage may vary.


If you need a recipe for a LEVO oil infuser, try my cannabis pain salve recipe as the base for these bath melts.


If you don’t, you can add your desired amount of cannabis and coconut oil in a tightly-sealed jar and submerge in boiling water to activate the cannabinoids. You’ll need to stay close by and continuously add water when necessary because you’ll want to keep your jar submerged in the hot water for at least 1.5 to 2 hours. After the cannabis has decarboxylated in the coconut oil, you can use a cheesecloth to separate and discard the plant material and keep the infused coconut oil.

Ketamine clinics are on the rise as more people become attuned to the potential benefits the medication can provide. Of course, ketamine has many uses – some legal and some not legal – that need to be clearly conveyed. In a licensed clinical setting, ketamine is a groundbreaking medication that has the potential to help people with treatment-resistant mental and physical conditions. Ketamine clinic marketing is heavily restricted because of the various factors and potential for abuse that come with the medication, though. Let’s dive into the basics of ketamine clinic marketing so you can stay compliant. A quick analogy: ketamine vs. cannabis marketing I’ve been a freelance cannabis writer for the last ~8 years. During that time, I’ve learned the ins and outs of marketing for highly regulated industries. And there’s a lot to keep track of. But if you understand a few key pillars, you can protect your business while still converting curious potential customers into loyal, returning ones. One of the biggest challenges for cannabis marketing is compliance with social media platform regulations and state advertising restrictions. The same goes for ketamine clinic marketing, too. In both industries, you have to be extremely careful about what you say and how you convey it. In cannabis marketing, you generally can’t make any medical claims or statements that could be taken as medical advice. Instead, you can highlight research and anecdotal evidence that points to a potential for certain effects. Ketamine marketing faces the off-label challenge. Even though it’s FDA approved as an anesthetic, ketamine clinics aren’t using the drug that way. They’re using it for its off-label effects: depression, PTSD, anxiety, and pain. But those uses are not approved by the FDA, and it’s crucial that ketamine clinic marketing uses careful language to not get in legal trouble. Ketamine clinic marketing FAQS: Whether you’re just launching your clinic or you’ve decided to step up your existing marketing efforts, here are some common questions you may be wondering: What’s the best way to market a ketamine clinic? Those who end up using ketamine clinics do so after heavy research and thought. It’s not a quick decision. The best way to market a ketamine clinic is with fact-based information that answers common questions and guides readers to their own informed decisions. Educational content is key. This can be in the form of blogs, articles, or 101 pages that dive into different topics. How do I pick SEO keywords for my ketamine clinic? Professional SEO tools can help you narrow your search and target your audience more effectively. But if you’re just getting started and looking for ketamine clinic SEO keywords, think like your potential clientele. What would they search for? Here are some examples to start with: “SSRIs no longer working” “Alternative depression treatment” “Depression treatments not helping” Can ketamine clinics post on social media? Yes, but with extreme caution and care. Most platforms do not allow any advertising of drugs, so you have to be cautious about the wording and imagery used. Successful social media strategies for ketamine clinics involve guiding the user off platform and back to your website where you can point them to educational content you’ve posted. Does my ketamine clinic need a blog? Posting educational content on a blog can do wonders for your ketamine clinic marketing. Because you own the website and content, you don’t have to worry about platforms like Meta taking down your content or banning your account. How do I get ketamine clinic customers? You have to find your potential customers where they’re looking. That’s often Google. Most people who end up discovering the potential therapeutic benefits of ketamine therapy find out through word of mouth or online research. By answering common questions and providing valuable information on your blog and website, you can build trust and credibility with potential customers. Should I hire a ketamine clinic writer? Even if you’re a great writer, if you don’t have deep SEO knowledge and understanding of marketing in complex, highly regulated industries, you’ll likely struggle with your ketamine marketing strategy. Your content needs to be optimized for search engines and target keywords that are relevant to your target audience but not too saturated to ever rank for. Ketamine clinic writers can take this part of the job off your plate and allow you to focus on your core business functions. Just be sure to find a health and wellness writer or ketamine writer who knows the ins and outs of compliance, state-by-state regulations, and SEO. Oh hey, that sounds like me! I’ve been writing for complex and highly regulated industries for nearly a decade now. I know how to convert casual readers into loyal customers. Let’s talk today!
