• Why do people grind the weed?

Obviously for a joint it won't really work unless it's ground, but my friend told me to do it for a bong as well, but I ignored him and just ripped a little bit off of the chunk I had, and pushed it into the bowl stems and all. A few days later I decided to try green tea because my friend suggested it for getting relaxed without getting stupid, and I couldn't even pack it in tight enough for it to work. Am I just doing something wrong, or does my friend have no clue what he's talking about when he says to grind it up for a bong?
I always grind my weed, it gives me kief in my grinder, and it's easier to smoke a nice packed bowl, than it is to torch a bud. Plus, I know for sure there's no seeds hidden in there. I just keep packing the bowl with my thumb, not insanely packed, because you wouldn't be able to hit it, but good enough. An average packed bowl in my bong = .7g a joint is too much work.
I probably should also get a better filter (homemade bong). Right now when I just put the whole thing in unground I don't even bother to put one in, but when I tried with tea I used the bag. But I still don't see how I can pack it any tighter then I did with the tea, I pushed it down as hard as I could with my thumb and had the whole thing filled to where I couldn't push it in any further, but when I light it, it took way longer and much more effort to fill it with smoke.
Yeah? I grind my weed before I smoke it out of my bong. Not quite as finely as you would use to roll, but broken enough to pack. Press down lightly, it takes a couple pinches of ground bud to fill my bowl.
More surface area. Means that vaping is more effective. Also makes it a million times easier to pack a bowl.

you should always grind or break up your weed. it doesn't need to be as finely broken for pong or bipe, but it still should be broken. the inside won't burn properly if you don't grind it. also, most of the time it's better to take the stems out of your bud, they don't taste good.
It burned through fully when I broke a bit off, but I didn't break it up anymore. And I didn't really notice any taste at all when I used the bong, or when I used a pipe.
i guess you weren't smoking much then. the amount i smoke is usually a decent size nug and i'd need to use a turbolighter or something to make sure it burns through. you wouldn't be able to tell anyways cause the ash would cover the middle. fuck, i just rearead my post and i said bipe and pong instead of pipe and bong lol. percs fuck me up
Yeah, I took a pretty decently sized nug that most people would probably smoke all at once and took about 1\4th of it. Fortunately for me I just recently started smoking, and I don't do it that often, so I'm a huge lightweight.
Sorry, but only noob smokers smoke unground nugs. Basic chemistry states that greater surface area = faster reaction time. A.K.A. if your weed is ground up you'll get higher faster. Also it's nicer to have a bowl packed full. you can't really get a bowl packed like this if you just stick a nug in there.

The only time I don't chop-up or grind my weed is when I just want to roast I big nugget in there.
i pick it apart as much as possible but i don't currently possess a grinder so no
I do both, it just depends on how I feel. I usually try to grind it down, but sometimes I just cant be arsed so I throw some partially broken up nug in there.
I thought it was common sense to atleast pick apart your buds. I tend to grind my weed, I do think it makes it a little bit weaker, but I like collecting the pollen.
Smoking ground-up weed is more efficient than trying to burn through bud, especially if your bud is dense. [editline]05:31PM[/editline] Plus: KIEF KIEF KIEF
Might be a dumb question, but what is kief exactly? I've heard alot of you guys on DD talk about it, is it the remains from a grinder or something? Don't have a grinder (yet) so I wouldn't know :(
Kief is the leftover trichomes (crystals) that fall off the weed. They contain the most THC. :eng101:
Why don't you people just say trichomes then :(
Because trichomes and kief are different things.
Didn't dustbusta just say that kief are trichomes :S
Well, keif is really more like trichomes and weed dust, tiny tiny weed particles. [editline]02:10PM[/editline] It's like pixy dust!! :3:::
Woops, I think I'm probably wrong. I beg your pardon.
Kief is a bit more than just trichromes. It also contains anything else that powders while you grind it, which includes plenty of bits of the plant. But mostly it's just crystally goodness.
Why do people grind weed?! Why do people chew food! Because it's easier to swallow, motherfucker!
