Grinder Vs. Hand broken

We all know that using an herb grinder helps you to roll better joints, but what about smoking from a bowl, does it make a difference?

To best honest using a grinder for joints can sometimes be unpleasant due to the fact that it can be grinded up wayy too much and it'll sh!t on you a good bit.

O sorry forgot the bowl part. Yeah grinding for a bowl is the way to go. Grind a nug, take a pinch, and light up. It's perfect consistency.

bowls just rip peice off nug and tear it up juts a bit if u want it to burn quicker...grinder are good..some grinders dont grind as much as others

when using a bowl, don't make your weed too powdery or else some of it will go thru the tunnel and it will get in your mouth which, trust me, is disgusting. very unpleasant

I ALWAYS use my grinder regardless of how I'm smoking my herb. It grinds it into the perfect consistency for anything. I have a four piece aluminum grinder with "shark" teeth.

My friend got a grinder for free from someone and I know why. That thing pulverizes his weed into a dust and would be horrible for smoking in anything in my opinion. His is just a two piece plastic piece of crap with pyramid like teeth.

i have the platic pyramid style grinder, after having an aluminum one piece grinder, and i like the plastic one better. it does make it a bit more "powdery" than other grinders, but it also really breaks up everything, no strings of weed in my bowls i hate trying to pack a bowl that is bouncy because there is a 2 inch string of weed from all the stems weaving together. and as for blunts and joints, i never pull through, though i roll tight enough that the end is to tight to pull through.

grinder works best for a bowl.

Yeah grinders are great because they cut the weed up into pieces that are relatively the same size. This allows for maximum airflow and exposure of THC. That's why its so much easier to rip a bowl of grinded weed versus a shitty bowl of finger broken.

Plus its faster, which leaves more time for smoking :)

PS - The only grinder you should ever buy is a SharpStone. Unbelievable, even does an ok job of grinding really sticky weed. It also has a THC catcher in the bottom, and after you grind about a quatch, you'll have enough for an entire bong rip of keif. See you on the moon my friend.

I prefer to break my buds up by hand on a waxed paper plate, and clean out all the little bits of lumber. I can then put it in a bowl, roll joints, or load my dugout for carrying in my pocket for outside avtivities. :thumbsup:

If you want to take it a step further, go to a pottery supply store and get yourself a couple of fine mesh sieves. They have small ones to large ones depending upon your need. At least 120 mesh, sifted on an angle you get two grades of ripe tricomes. :jointsmile: Makes super fine hash with just gentle sifting and another grade with a little pressure. Not too much pressure because you will get too much plant material. Just dropping dried buds without crushing gets you the primo, primo, gentle pressure zero-zero or double ought, and light pressure gets you the last run worth smoking. :D

I'd recommend at least a 1/4 oz to try any of the above after hand breaking buds. :rasta:
