Sorry, but what if keif, exactly?

[Cookies1]

When I was smoking with a relative, he said he was putting keif in the bowl. What is it and how do you make it? I think he used a grinder, but I don't have one, nor can I afford one.

Thanks, dudes!

*Edit* - Just googled it, but I still don't understand, lol. Is it pure THC?

You know when you hold a really bomb bud, and it leaves the crystals (trichs) on your fingers? That's kief. It's pretty much the thc crystals on your bud. My grinder has a screen that catches the kief, but I usually just buy it.

This is what I dont get... Isnt a keif catcher or screen taking away from your bud?

I have a small grinder I got for 10 bucks (metal) that just grinds and keeps those crystals mixing around with my bud - With yours isnt it basically taking away some of the THC from the bud because it separates it?

I mean I get that you can use it later but its like pinching your high, right?

I mean it's not like that shit is going anywhere else

I generally put the kief that it separates out right back on the buds. I'd rather just buy kief than try to collect it up like that.

Yeah, there have been a few times when I just don't bother with it let it collect up and then it's a pleasant surprise during a dry spell.

A grinder is just a better way of breaking up a bud than using your fingers. If you use the later technique the THC glands in up sticking to your fingers. I bet I've wasted grams of kief breaking up buds the old fashioned way...

If the grinder has a Kief catcherm it can be used to lace a joint, or smoked as hash

The older grinders that I had that didnt have a screen, just pressed the crystal and gummed up the teeth real bad. But when using my screened grinder it just would go down to the bottom. I just love throwing a bunch of it on my bowl and getting that nice head rush.
