Benefits of a weed grinder

Looks / flavour / odor: Picking cannabis with your fingers wont give you that wonderful smell of aromas. By using a weed grinder you create a large surface area that simply releases a amazing smell and flavour. You can genuine smell the different strains of cannabis with their own scent and taste. And let's be honest, those handpicked cannabis lumps are the worst for rolling a nice joint.

Saving time: Picking apart cannabis with your hands can be quite the hassle. Not only will all parts stick to you fingers, it will also take some time to tear apart your bud into fine pieces. The biggest problem is that the THC will stick on your fingers. With a weed grinder you simply place your marijuana in the weed grinder, twist a couple of times and you are ready to go.. or to roll.

Efficiency/potency: You can smoke, vaporize or eat cannabis. But in all cases its best when you grind your marijuana. In this way you maximize the surface area which provides a nice and even burning/combustion of the material. In this case the active compounds like THC will release faster in the smoke.

Saving costs: Because of the better combustion and increase of potency you will need less cannabis in a joint or bongbowl.

Kief/pollen: If you use a 3 or 4 piece weed grinder, it should have a kief catcher. Kief/pollen refers to the trichomes (the resin glands, ‘crystals’) which is the more pure & potent part of the plant and what’s used to make hash. After a couple of weeks you’ll have a nice little pile of kief. Just sprinkle some on top of your marijuana for an extra kick or smoke it straight for a wild ride. Some of the higher-end grinders even come with ‘pollen presses’ for some homemade hash.
