Grind or Not

[gr8fulbud]

I honestly didn't know anyone did this. Just never liked breaking up my bud. I can honestly say I haven't rolled a joint in 20 years after being self sufficient for many more. Maybe thats when I went to an indica strain. 'Tis a bit hard to get a good rolling texture with some buds I think. Seems easier tho just to break\cut off a chunk, stick in pipe, light. I just use a plain ole tobacco pipe to be discreet. I gotta get out more maybe.

Chunk, pipe, light, exhale slowly, smell your fingers, repeat as neccessary...couldn't be easier!

Young Pumpkin - I'm the complete opposite. I bought a grinder with my first bowl and I have used it probably >99% of the time I smoke. An evenly ground bowl of properly cured bud is awesome. Perfect consistency start to finish, makes for a great cherry if you keep it going.

My old day's are Oz's of Columbia gold where half the bag was stems and seeds, and I could never use one..
Today for the medication we buy grinders work good,
super sticky weed makes them a little gummy but they can grind up fresh buds faster and better than scissors.

I have 2 sizes of grinders both of which have pollen sifters. I wish I had one of those suckers back in my younger days as I would have saved a crap load of cannabis.

Todays I use a grinder daily for sure.

If you pack it in there with your finger, it never "shoots" down the stem or whatever. It does burn faster, so if you arent ready and practiced - it will choke you out, you cough, you get really high and tears stream down your cheeks, and then you think - oh my god that was harsh, I dont like that. You just took too much in.

QFT.

I grind and use a 1/8 teaspoon. One heaping scoop goes into the 1 hit glass bong bowl with a SLIGHT tamp (over pack it and you will harsh hit), add another scoop on top minimally tamped. The key is to hit it gently - slow inhale, slight pauses when the cherry gets too hot. Then, when the last couple millimeters of pub in the bowl is still green, snap the carb - if you still have lungs, you can try to ash that last little bit of green, but I don't bother because all the good stuff has been vaped out of it and it just makes your hit harsher.

I honestly think it is silly or lazy to not use one, but to each his own. More surface area, more even burn, way more efficient IMVHO.

It also gives one more place to collect kief.
