Yo yo yo!
Guys, I've my grinder lost, so I have a reasonable question. Can I use a coffee grinder for my purposes? I'm afraid that it'll chop my weed to powder. Any experienced? my grinder

I think a pair of small scissors would be better. Cutting your cannabis into smaller pieces, then breaking it up with your fingers.SoulJa wrote: Wed 25th Dec 2019 08:38 am Yo yo yo!

Re: Thoughts on grinder usage
Agreed with AzLaker, scissors are a tried and true method, you can combine with a smaller glass or something like that to contain the nug while chopping away or go the slower route and cut a bit off at a time... Besides likely turning your weed into dust, using a coffee grinder will very like lead to taste transfer (both ways), and if your weed is good a horribly sticky grinder which combined with ground coffee... Well, you probably get the idea...
Always know where your towel is!

Yeap, scissors is a proven method
I used them yesterday. I just wanted to try something new, everything is so routine, you know. So you deem this is a bad idea?

Re: Thoughts on grinder usage
If you buy a coffee grinder but only use it for weed then there’s no issue with taste transfer. I had one for this specific purpose about 18 years ago, but I only used it when preparing weed for cooking/canna butter, because as CC says it does tend to produce very fine powder. For smoking/vaping scissors or a metal grinder (fuck using plastic ones, they eventually go brittle and tiny bits end up in your grind).

Re: Thoughts on grinder usage
btw, how do you cook anything with weed? I'm just interested in your recipe because I am experienced rather in smoking than in cooking.
