scissors just dont compare to a coffee grinder, or buster as we call em around here. Sure if u have bone dry shit scissors work fine but when u get that fresh shit or rock hard buds, a buster fluffs it out so nicely. Ive had weed many times that busts out to twice as big of a pile in the buster as it did when cut with scissors. the best part is, after ur done smokin u can take a brush to the inside of the buster and pack all that beautiful crystal into a pipe or wutever it may be. if its ur first time smokin crystal u mite wanna take it easy as the shit is harsh as a motherfucker and gets yer brain some fucked. ur proboly thinkin well if all that crystal sticks in the buster then the weed must loose alot of potency...well ive never noticed a difference neither has anyone else i know. giver a try
