The average grinder rarely strays far from the coffee table in your living room, breaking cannabis down into small consistent pieces is a vital step to getting the best out your stash and is arguably the most important process when smoking weed. The finer the weed is ground up the better your joint, bowl or vape will burn, resulting in a smoother higher quality toke. There are always moments where your grinder is nowhere to be found but there are plenty of alternatives that can do the job of your missing grinder.

WHAT IS CANNABIS?

Cannabis is a plant species in the family Cannabaceae. It includes three primary subspecies: Cannabis sativa, Cannabis indica, and Cannabis ruderalis. Cannabis has been used for a variety of purposes, including for its medicinal and recreational effects. It is also known for its psychoactive compounds, such as tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD).

COFFEE GRINDER

The coffee grinder is very similar to the herb grind. They both help you make a strong cup of coffee. Some people smoke cannabis to help them wake up or to relax after a night out.

If you want to use a coffee grinder to grind up your cannabis, you need to be sure to clean it out properly and make sure the weed you are using is fresh. Coffee grinders are good for breaking down hard-coated cannabis, but they can also pulverize older dried out cannabis.

KNIFE AND CHOPPING BOARD

If you want to enjoy cannabis, you need to be able to handle the drug correctly. This includes good hand-eye coordination, because marijuana is often very small. You’ll also need a clean cutting board and knife, and you’ll need to be very careful when chopping the marijuana. Make sure to take it slow, and chop the marijuana as finely as possible.

BREAK IT UP WITH YOUR HANDS…DUH

There are a few different ways to try and get your cannabis grinder back if it’s missing. One option is to use your fingers to break down the buds, but this can be tough if the buds are fresh. Another option is to rip the buds apart with your hands, but this can be difficult and sticky if the buds are fresh. If the buds are too sticky to break down with your hands, you can leave them out to dry for a few hours or freeze them for a bit.

PILL BOTTLE AND A COIN

To grind up cannabis, you can use a method called “shaking the penny.” First, clean out the pill bottle with soap or alcohol. Then, put the penny into the bottle and shake it up and down. After about 30 seconds to a minute of shaking, the penny will break down the buds into a powder.

SCISSORS AND A SHOT GLASS

Some people use a shot glass to chop up their weed. They do this by dropping a bud into the glass, then using their scissors to cut the weed. Once the weed is ground up, they remove it from the glass and add another bud. This process is easy and can be done at home with just a shot glass and scissors.

PESTLE AND MORTAR

The pestle and mortar technique is a way to make things like spices, herbs, and nuts into a paste. This is done by using a mortar (a bowl made of different materials) and a pestle (a heavy blunt club-shaped object). These tools date back to 35,000 BC and are still used today. Before you start, make sure your weed is dry so it doesn’t get ground to dust. After that, all you have to do is fill the mortar with your weed and start pounding it. Make sure you don’t crush it too hard, or it will turn into dust. After pounding it for a few seconds, take a look and decide if you need to continue.

BLEND IT

What you’re doing is breaking up your weed with a blender. This is a safe way to do it, and shouldn’t damage your weed. You can use a food processor if you have a smaller amount of weed. And you should clean your blender out after you use it.

CHEESE GRATER

Last but not least is the trusty cheese grater, found in almost every household this is a simple and effective way to grind up your weed when you have no other options. Cheese graters can actually be quite sharp so make sure you are somewhat sober when doing this, the last thing you want is a bloody massacre when your just trying to simply medicate yourself for the evening. Cheese graters are designed to deal with more rugged foods like carrots, cheeses and raw ginger and are designed to be tough, so it’s important to keep this in mind when you run your buds down the side of your cheese grater. Run your buds up and down the grater choosing either the smaller or bigger grates depending on how fine you want your weed to come out. It’s also important to use one bud at a time, this way you aren’t fumbling around with a handful of weed. Once you’ve ground it up, simply lift up the cheese grater you should see a beautifully small mountain of freshly ground up bud ready to be combusted into a magical experience. We know this isn’t the best option but it’s an option none-the-less and don’t forget, it’s for the grater good….. see what we did there?
