a few good points, but i always use my grinder to grind my herb, and the kief falls to the harvest area for latter harvesting. who says you cant light the bowl from the edge with ground herb the same as you would if you didnt grind the nug? could always put th pipe down when you take a big anough hit, rather than taking 4 from a nugged bowl, and getting the same amount of smoke. jmho
