Is it common practice to grind up your weed before putting it in a glass pipe. When i did that, some pieces fell through the hole. Does anybody just put the whole bud in there?

Yes you can. You can either bust it up or not.Quote:

Or just don't bust it up, or don'rt bust it up as fine. Rather than busting it fine, just pick a bud apart in slightly bigger pieces than busting it.
But no, you don't HAVE TO grind it up.
Yeah, but when i break it up some pieces fall through the little hole and i guess it gets wasted cuz it just sits there at the bottom where the flame doesnt hit it.
And what about the ash falling through the hole? What do i do about that?
if you grind it up, little pieces are gonna fall through until you have some resin built up in your pipe :) if you're super concerned about it, buy a screen and use it or something...glass screens are great!! a lot of screens have a weird taste, but you don't get any taste with glass screens, so if you want to use one for your piece (although i don't think it's necessary, and i can't think of a time i ever used a screen in my glass pieces when i smoked weed...the only time i did was for salvia), i would recommend a glass one :) just don't forget it's in there and throw it away
edit: lol i was typing my post up and posted it just a minute after nochowderforyou's post...lol so it contains some of the same info
Thanks guys, but what about the ash?

u can use a glass screen and u shouldnt be pulling through any weed. what i do is just break off a piece of a nug just big enough to sit on the hole (i call it a base nug) then i grind up the rest of the weed and pack it down on top. or instead of grinding i just rip off a bunch of lil pieces and pack it in tight
