i have a personal thing with always using a grinder, but thats just my little bit of OCD The stickiness that comes off on your fingers really doesent make a difference. Bear in mind that the good stuff isnt just on the surface of the bud, its all the way through, so the bit stuck to your fingers is negligible. But if you really dont like it, then invest in a grinder. Get a decent one and it should last you for life.
