If you’re the type to carry lip balm at all times, get ready for your new favorite product. Making your own lip balm is generally a good idea—it’s beneficial to know what ingredients go into products you probably ingest—but making your own weed-infused lip balm is extra chill.
Here’s what you’ll need to make lip balm that gets you high: weed, scale, grinder, essential oils, jar, coconut oil, beeswax, cheesecloth, hair tie, spoon, hot plate/stove, toaster oven/oven, pot

Step One: Weigh out around 3 grams of weed.
Step Two: Grind the weed.
Step Three: Spread the weed evenly on a baking sheet or tray and toast it in the oven at 240 degrees F for around 30 minutes.
Step Four: In a pot on a hot plate or stove, combine your toasted weed with about 4 tablespoons of coconut oil, beeswax, and any essential oils you’d like to use (we add peppermint and eucalyptus oils). Then, stir it occasionally on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Step Five: Let the mixture cool for a short time, and then strain it by covering your jar with cheesecloth and securing it with a hair tie. Pour the mixture through the cheesecloth and squeeze out any extra oil.
Step Six: While your mixture is still a liquid, pour it into any container that would be convenient for your lip balm, like a tiny jar. Then, cool it in the fridge for an hour or two, and you’re all set!
This lip balm will get you high, but not in an overpowering way, so it’s the perfect product when you’re looking for a subtle high and a fix for chapped lips.
