Today, I got some really nice kush, and I'm planning to smoke it on monday with my bowl and one of my friends, but the problem is that I don't have filters for it. I have smoked without filters before and it worked out decent, but the bud I got today is really fine, like sand, and I'm pretty sure if I don't use a filter, it will go straight through the hole. I'm underage, so I can't just go to a headshop (there aren't even any around here) and get some. Are there any good alternatives to filters using things you can find around the house? I heard you can use foil with holes punched in it, but I would prefer not to use that since I heard it's pretty bad for you.
Fuck foil, just go to your sink and take one of the screens from the faucet.
A gas station around here sells 10 for $1. Uhh, you can take them from under faucets, like Conscript said. Foil is always an option, 1 time won't kill you, trust me.

:wtc:
are you sure its bud? cause i've never seen bud thats that fine.
Did you just buy an ounce of sand?
A pebble.

I don't see the words ounce.
Also it's probably a 10/20 sack of shake.
Ive had weed so dry that my grinder literally powdered it. But yea, you can get one out of a sink, or you can go buy/steal a faucet aerator replacement and use the screens from that. Or you can just buy some meant for pipes but those arent common outside of headshops most of the time.

If the piece is glass, be sure to get glass screens, the metal screens eventually dig into the glass from getting heated up and expanding and it could lead to cracking/breaking your piece. (A guy who works at a glass shop told me this, dunno how accurate it is, but it makes sense seeing as everything is getting pretty hot)
some earbuds have metal screens on the earpiece. if you have a pair of ipod earbuds or something that you don't mind breaking, use those.

Aren't they made of aluminum?
When i pack my cones, i put my finger at the bottom so it doesnt come out, and i pack it in tight, and it stays there.
Try the same with that.

You really shouldn't try this. According to TheMiracle, plastic fumes comes off those.

You've never heard about grinding weed?
[QUOTE=Otsegolation;19896492]You've never heard about grinding weed?[/QUOTE]
Grinding doesn't powderize weed.
If your weed is really powder, then snort it.
Just kidding, bake something with it :).
1. Heat up some chocolate
2. Put weed in there
3. ???
4. Profit!
Headshops sell em 10 for a buck, just go buy one. Those faucet screens are usually plastic treated.
I've got like 3 of them for free with my bong. :3:
yeah i got 5 free screens with my pipe, still have 2 of those left
Aluminum foil is safe to use, lighters don't burn hot enough to liquidize aluminum, and since the common household aluminum foil is 99.9% aluminum, you're safe. No toxic fumes come off of the aluminum, because it only releases aluminum vapor when its being converted to a liquid state. All other chemicals on the foil are burned off in production.
screen door patches maybe? dunno, if you don't have screens and it's really that fine it might be better to just roll a jay. or, you could break a piece off of a nug of some other bud and put it over the hole, but you'll still inhale a lot of ash.
Well, I haven't been able to get faucet filters; my parents would probably notice if I took one (they screw around with the faucets a lot and put in those filtering things that are seperate from the faucet) (and I can't go to home depot or something to get a replacement since I don't have my license and it'd be weird asking me my mom to take me to get them), and I can't cut out parts of our screen door, so I think I will just have to go with the foil this time. Thanks for all the suggestions anyway. I probably won't get bud this ground up again, so it shouldn't be a problem to do it just this once. I'm gonna go light it up in about a couple hours, hope it works without any problems :350:
Do like I did.. Go to someone's back-porch, grab your scissors and cut a piece off their anti-flies screen (I hope you know what I mean) and it should work pretty good.

It's just called "fly screen".
Also, that's a real cunt act to do that. It's so much effort to fix up a small hole in a fly screen door.
