An herb grinder is a small device used to grind up marijuana into small particles which can then be smoked in a bong, pipe, vaporizer or with rolling papers. Here is my top 5 reasons as to why an herb grinder can make your smoke better.

1. By grinding your cannabis using an herb grinder you can limit the amount of contact between your fingers and the buds themselves. By doing this you decrease the amount of resin and THC crystals that end up on your hand and not in your smoke. When the skin on your fingers come in contact with the resin on the marijuana bud, the resin tends to stick and attach itself to your skin. The texture, temperature and moisture of your fingers all contribute to this. By using an herb grinder you limit the amount of resin lost due to tearing and cutting the marijuana with your fingers, thus increasing the potency of your smoke.

2. Have you ever cut some marijuana with a pair of dull scissors? If so, you will have noticed how the pieces of marijuana will fly off when cut. With an herb grinder these pieces are ground in a closed compartment where no bud can escape and be wasted. Once done the ground marijuana is poured into your smoking medium.

3. With an herb grinder-pollenator or pollenator you can save the hashish resin from your marijuana and eventually make hash from the saved resin. This works by having the resin fall through one or several filters installed into the bottom of the pollenator. Once a couple of grams have been through the pollenator enough resin will have been collected in order to produce hashish using a pollen press. Hashish being a variation of cannabis much more potent than the bud itself which can be smoked.

4. Speed is another reason why the handy herb grinder beats out other means of grinding marijuana. When compared to tearing the cannabis by hand or cutting it up with scissors, grinding your cannabis using an herb grinder takes no time at all. For example, for me to cut or tear the cannabis manually it would probably take me two minutes, in order to get the bud to the right consistency and size. When using an herb grinder this time is transformed into a couple of seconds. All you need to do is put the whole bud in the herb grinder and within a couple turns and seconds it is ground to the perfect consistency.

5. Lastly, in order to roll a joint or blunt, the consistency of the marijuana must be close to perfect. Otherwise you end up having to constantly relight it during consumption. To successfully turn whole marijuana bud into a smokable cannabis one must tediously cut and tear the bud and even after several minutes the weed might not be suitable for rolling. With a trusty herb grinder this bud gets turned into the perfect consistency fit for rolling killer joints!

The first time I bought an herb grinder I never looked back and I wondered how I ever did without. If you’re a smoke enthusiast an herb grinder is a smoke accessory you must have.
