I smoke it to sleep, nothing works better. I have also tried various methods of crushing it, as well as leaving it whole and just pinching off a bowl here and there, but i prefer to use that method for bong hits.

I prefer to crush it up with my fingers, because it gives a pre-connection to the pot you're about to burn, so when you inhale the smoke, it's as if you're being visited by an old friend.

I've used two types of grinders, an herb grinder that can be bought at many herbalist shops or nature stores, and a high quality grinder with pollen screen where the keef collected... that was beautiful, however it felt deprived of the connectivity of using my own hands.


All in all, however, if i had more time with that grinder, i could have imbued more of my personal energy and it would have essentially retained the "old friend" effect.
