is there another way to?

is there another way to break up bud, without that kief w/e?

douse it in water and punch yourself

What do you mean "without that kief"?

kief is what you get when you use a grinder and the stuff that collects at the bottom is more potent. Also if you rub your bud over a silk screen then kief will fall under it, and you can press kief into hash.

Smoke male plants.

if you've got the time i'd just use your fingers to break it up... sure, it may take longer, but the anticipation makes firing it up even better!
