Do I Have to Grind My Weed? The Answer May Shock You

Some people ask, “Do I have to grind my weed?” The short answer to that is YES. Here’s why ground herb leads to a superior smoking experience:

Creates an Even, Solid Burn

If you dropped a whole nug into a bowl and tried to light up, you’d get an uneven, inconsistent burn. Grinding lets the heat dissipate fully through your product, evenly heating everything so there are no unpleasant surprises like super-hot smoke or wasted bud – there’s just a smooth, great toke.

Allows for Uniform Consistency

Have you ever drunk through a straw and had to suck in bubbles or air pockets instead of delicious hydration? That’s what happens if you don’t grind your herb: you run the risk of just sucking in hot air through your bowl, blunt, bong, or joint instead of the good stuff, meanwhile your kush is just sitting there burning away.  Don’t waste primo green; enjoy it all with a grinder.

Makes for Easy Rolling and Loading

Unground bud is stupid hard to roll and pack, and no matter how hard you try or how good you are it’s still gonna be a pain to deal with. For a good-looking joint or a bowl that doesn’t look like there’s a narc in your crew, you’ve simply got to grind.

Provides the Best Hits

Professional athletes may swear by a certain shoe or workout gear – and they know what they’re talking about, they use that stuff every day. It’s the same with marijuana: all the real smokers swear by grinding, and they should be trusted because they use that stuff every day. For a pro hit with consistently thick vapor, do what the pros do, and just grind.

Removes Stems

Stems suck. That’s the nicest way to put it. They’re bad for you, they’ve got nothing good for you (unlike bud), and they just get in the way of a good time. Using a grinder means you get all of the good and none of the bad – and who doesn’t want that?
