If you actually sit down and smoke one bowl that was ground up, and then load a second where the herb was carefully chopped, you'll see the difference!! Its a simple fact that you're bursting and losing trichs, but also losing a bit of the terpenes and oils as the plant is chopped and smeared along the inside of the grinder. Granted, its a very small amount of loss, but it can sometimes make a big difference.

The only time I ever grind is for vapor hits. And maybe stuff that isn't quite dry enough to smoke well.
