Nothing melts away stress like a warm, soothing bath — and adding cannabis into the mix can take your self-care routine to a whole new level. Cannabis-infused bath bombs combine the benefits of aromatherapy, Epsom salts, and cannabinoids like CBD or THC to help you unwind, soothe sore muscles, and nourish your skin.
And the best part? You don’t have to spend a fortune at a dispensary — you can make your own cannabis bath bombs right at home!
In this post, we’ll cover why cannabis bath bombs are worth trying, what you’ll need to make them, and step-by-step instructions for crafting your own relaxing, spa-worthy bath experience.
Why Cannabis Bath Bombs?
Cannabis bath bombs work by delivering cannabinoids directly to your skin. Unlike smoking or edibles, you won’t feel intoxicated — instead, you’ll experience:
- Muscle relief: Perfect for post-workout soreness or chronic pain.
- Skin hydration: Nourishes dry or irritated skin.
- Relaxation: The calming effects of CBD or THC combined with essential oils create a spa-like experience.
- Localized effects: Cannabinoids don’t typically enter the bloodstream through the skin, making them ideal for non-psychoactive relief.
Whether you want to unwind after a long day, ease tension, or simply pamper yourself, cannabis-infused bath bombs are an easy and enjoyable choice.
Ingredients You’ll Need
Here’s what you’ll need to make about 3–4 medium-sized bath bombs:
a) Dry Ingredients:
- 1 cup baking soda
½ cup citric acid
- ½ cup Epsom salts
½ cup cornstarch
b) Wet Ingredients:
- 3–4 teaspoons cannabis oil (CBD or THC infused — see tips below)
- 2–3 teaspoons water
- 2 teaspoons essential oil (like lavender, eucalyptus, or peppermint)
1–2 teaspoons coconut oil or sweet almond oil (optional for extra moisture)
- A few drops of food coloring (optional)
c) Tools:
- A large mixing bowl

How to Make Cannabis Bath Bombs
Step 1 : Mix Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine baking soda, citric acid, Epsom salts, and cornstarch. Whisk thoroughly until there are no clumps.
Step 2 : Mix Wet Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together cannabis oil, water, essential oil, and coconut oil. Add food coloring if desired.
Step 3 : Mix Wet Ingredients.
Very slowly, add the wet mixture to the dry mixture a little at a time, whisking constantly. You want the mixture to hold together when squeezed, but not fizz or foam
Step 4 : Mold and Pack
Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, many people find that cannabis — especially THC or CBN — helps them fall asleep faster and feel more relaxed before bed.
THC may help you fall asleep faster, but CBD is better for calming anxiety and promoting restful sleep without the high.
Over time, regular THC use may become less effective for sleep. Taking occasional breaks can help reset your tolerance.
If smoking or vaping, about 30 minutes before bed. If using edibles, take them 1–2 hours beforehand.
High doses or long-term use can lead to grogginess, dependence, or tolerance. Use mindfully and combine it with good sleep hygiene practices.
