What are the disadvantage of breaking up your weed in advanced?

i break up my weed right before i smoke it, until than i jus leave the nugs alone. also i jus do it by hand because theres no point in having a grinder for the occasional jay. i normally just pack a bowl of small nugs.

I always lick my fingers after I roll. :o

WHAT THE FUCK DID U CALL ME COCK SUKA

I personally never grind my weed, UNLESS it's really fuckin shitty, with mad stems and shit. Then it's just easier to clean it.
Normally I like to take my time, and pinch off little bits here and there when packing. I can't see how grinding good weed up in advance would make it better. Course, I'm one of those slooow stoners. When I get weed I like to stare at it for awhile...I think the crystals are pretty. *shrug*
But whatever, to each his own.

I doubt you would lose enough THC to notice it in the high.

I wouldn't worry about it drying out and losing the thc. the skunk i'm smoking at the moment was really dry when we first got it and most of the buds had fallen off the stems already. Its all broken apart, so i don't need to grind it up at all. Fucking strong shit though. Normally I just grind up what I need on a joint to joint basis.

depedns on how bad you're breaking it up really... small bits of bud (as in small bits of bud you'd put in your bowl) would be fine, grinding it might not be such a good idea.. it'd be way more inclined to dry out faster, possible degredation of the key ingredients, not to mention if you decide to smoke a bowl, you put joint-grade material in a pipe and you're going to burn it extremly fast.

alot of people like to assume that just becuase it burns faster doesn't mean you dont' get just as high... which isn't true... heat destroys the ingredients to a certain extent, ground up weed is easily burnt, so instead of just wasting a bit every time you put a lighter to it, you're wasting a good ammount.. no matter what you do you're going to end up burning more than you need for that hit... but if it's ground and in a pipe it's going to be burning at quite a bit higher pace then if it were little "nugs of nuggets" (suprisingly that almost makes sense when put in this context) if it were mine i wouldn't do it... but that's just me, as long as it's not a large ammount or an ammount that's goign to last you awhile (i'm goign to say 2-3 days, 4 tops) then it won't really have any negative effects, nothing worth worrying about or noticeable atleast...

i dont even break my bud up. i just pull a nug or two off the main bud, pack 'em, and smoke 'em. this way only some of the THC from the outsode is lost. but on the inside... (thinking about the headrush this hit's gonna give me)

but then again... mine's sensi so i dont gotta worry about seeds. i wish i would find one tho

Agreed, I haven't broke up my weed the last two months I've been smoking. It's way more potent if left alone and it burns pretty long too. I've had a 15 minute bowl going (granted it was pretty big to start but I'm pretty sure leaving the weed intact lets it last longer).:thumbsup:

you lose a lot of keif that way...BUT you're always prepared to smoke.
