When I break the weed up to dust, it burns a lot better, never have to light it more then once and I always get the biggest hits off it. Only problem is you really need to keep hittin it cus its still lettin smoke out. When I see that its like seeing my money just float away... thats part of the reason I can't stand joints...

lol, but back in the day me and my friend used to just place a whole bud in the bowl, without even de-seeding or de-steming it... lol.
