can you put the ground up tweed in a blunt or does that not work well? also can i use a 4 peice grinder to start making hash instead of one of those boxes? i'm pretty ignorant when it comes to grinders cause i usually just break it up my self. i don't see any benefits from one but that's probably cause i've never used one. can yall give me some guidance please? :D

Grinders make a big difference. Smoother smoke when cannabis is ground, quicker, nicer, cleaner, and you can get a long lasting durable acrylic #No.1 Grinder for less than a fiver.

can you put the ground up tweed in a blunt 
I've not tried smoking tweed yet, although I have had a little tartan, and once I burned some denim, but only because I fell asleep and the joint singed a hole in my jeans.
Sorry, sorry, just kidding!  
Go with the grinder, weedyboy knows his stuff, 'for a smoother, longer lasting flight choose a fine ground roast!'
You'll find your weed will burn alot better when it's ground up.
Of course you can put ground-up weed in a blunt. Would you expect to put a whole nug in a blunt and smoke it? Just curious, that's all.
If you get a good grinder, it will grind it up into mostly-even pieces. This means it all burns on the same level, for the most part. That along with rolling a good blunt means an even better blunt, or joint. 
Yes, grinders are great. It's a lot quicker, too! And if you get one with a kief-catcher, after awhile you'll have some kief to sprinkle on the bud too. Or, if you let it go long enough, you could have enough to press and make into some hash. So yes, it's a good thing, with more than one possible benefit.

the hippie at the headshop said, "this grinder (with kief catcher!!! gotta have one) will be the best (weed-related, but he couldn't say that) investment you have made."
he was right
get a good metal grinder off of ebay and you'll see why everyone has em.  make sure you get a kief catcher.  smoking a joint of kief will make you nut your pants.

haha cool guys, thanks. btw "tweed" is just something that my friends and i call weed cause, well it's a long story, maybe when i'm bored. i just didn't know if it would fall out of the end of a blunt (i use blunts 95% of the time) cause it's smaller pieces. also i usually get sticky weed and i was wondering if this affects the grinder at all.

Moist sticky weed probably wont grind up very well. You'll find it'll turn into little tiny HARD balls that burn terribly.

i think sticky weed still breaks up in a grinder better than with hands.  if you get a nice grinder with a lot of teeth (see the chromium crusher post i made), i guarantee it will break it up better than your hands.  plus you get all the kief!

Like others said, youll like it....Its a lot cleaner and faster and easier......just a few turns and out comes nicely ground weed.......believe it or not, breaking it up with your fingers can make it lose some THC content because THC doesn't like being touched:jointsmile:

Buying a grinder was one of the best investments I've made.  And kief is awesome. :thumbsup:

If it's sticky and damp, then it will do what LIP said. 
If it's sticky and dry as a bone, no problem. It will grind nicer than anyone could sit there and break it up.
