Should I buy a grinder?

I usually bust up my shit with a shot glass and a swiss army knife but I hear grinders are the way to go. Is it possible to make a homemade grinder?

 

I honestly don't see the point in wasting money on grinder when it's just as simple to break it up with my hands.

 

Thats what I'm saying, but all my smoking buddies use grinders and reccomend them to me. But whatever I'll do what I'm comfortable doing. I thinkthat i'm gonna go smoke right now.

 

What the hell is the POINT of a grinder? I really don't understand. I hate ground up weed anyway...

fuck this, I'm gonna go smoke a cone.

 

fuck man, get a grinder, its lovely

 

lol all you who say its better with fingers you either never used one or a really shitty one. grinders are £3-4, nothing worth making a thread about. also if you ever rolled a blunt and a joint, youd know ripped apart weed has lower mass area than crushed. uncrushed gives thinner, harder to light and smoke joints, while crushed is neat and lovely.


and why would you wana sit like a beaver for 10min busting up your bud when u can do it in 20sec

 

lol, wtf? you people don't like grinders? i hate the feeling of having wasted bud after breaking it up with my fingers (some sticks to the fingers)... scissors don't achieve the right consistency unless you put a lot of effort in, and are not very manageable (sometimes the weed can shoot off if you cut wrong).

grinders are cheap (i bought a great one for a friend for 8 bucks), effective, you can achieve any level of grindedness you want (easy for rolling joints, packing bowls), and they dont waste much weed at all.

 

I say if you want one, go get it. They're cheap so you can decide if you like using it or not.

 

I think I'm gonna end up buying one. Probably monday cuz I work all weekend.

 

Grinders are great. Especially if you have some really awesome, properly dried kindbud, you can take giant hits if you grind it up nice and fine, especially in a bong.

 

The only advantage to buying a grinder would be if you bought one of the 50 dollar ones that collects keif. Then you can make hash, or put a layer of keif on your weed and get fucked up.

 

I actually have fun breaking it up with my fingers. Yeah, at times it's a bit tedious, but it's relaxing and always nice to have the smell on your fingers till you wash them

 

grinders > fingers

grinders = scissors

those small, curved scissors used for toe nails are the best scissors you can use for chopping up the bud.

but if you want it done fast and easy, a grinder is the way to go.

 

if you're gonna buy a grinder get a deec metal one or something... i cheaped out and got a 10 dollar one cuz i was also buying this bong, long story short it doesent work very well.

 

grinder for the win.

i love my grinder

 

Grinders are the way to go, they are easy and quick to use and you can get one for like 8 bucks. Just got a wood one today for 20 at the horribly overpriced (like $50 for a small glass spoon pipe) head shop down the street, works great. I hear that some THC is lost if you break it up with your hands because it gets on your fingers. Grinders make the pieces nice and uniform so a joint should be better to smoke. It burns more venly and is really nice. I only use them for joints and blunts (but I rarely smoke blunts) because they are not nesicary for pipes or anything else really.

 

Really? I was thinking about buying a grinder, but all I ever really use is my pipe.

 

Well here's how I do it, everyone does stuff differently. For pipes I just break up the bud (into medium peices) to pack the pipe better. For joints and blunts I use my grinder. In fact I used it like 10 minutes ago, ground the bud, rolled up my joint (which came out great), and smoked that shiznit! Joints seem to get me higher for some reason...neway, I would go with a grinder if you need fairly small/really small peices for joints or blunts. If you only use your pipe then it isn't really needed because you can smoke with bigger peices that you can easily rip up with your hands.

 

well you can still use it for pipes and bongs, perferably bongs.

if you dont have a screen you can put a little nug at the hole, grind up some bud and fill it to the brim. You can get more bud into it and it gives harder, bigger hits, specially with a bong. But it will burn alot faster, if you just barly put the flame to the very side of the bowl you can still get a fat hit without burning too much bud.

 

man when your in a car about to roll a joint and drivin around with a buddy or jus outside running arrands/spending the day somewhere public its a quick and convienient way to get your dope busted up fast so you can roll and get baked.
