How To Grind Marijuana Without A Grinder . We’ve all been there; you or your friend have a cannabis flower but don’t have a weed grinder ready and available. What are you doing? Using unground weed to pack your bowl is not ideal as you will end up burning more weed than you smoke, and placing unground weed in rolling paper or blunt packaging will not work as it will not be possible to achieve an even burn. The only solution is to find a DIY method for grinding your flower.
Ways to Shred Weed Without a Grinder
If you’re stuck without a shredder, here are some ways to shred weed without a shredder.
Common kitchen appliances that can be used
If you’re at home, your kitchen should probably be the first place you check. Many household kitchen appliances can double as a weed crusher in an emergency. You can probably discover something that will work if you look long and hard enough. Common examples include:
A coffee grinder that can be used to grind weed As the name suggests, a coffee grinder is still a grinder when it comes down to it. First, make sure you thoroughly clean your coffee grinder of any coffee grounds or leftover coffee beans (unless you smoke weed coffee – to each their own).
Be sure to wrap the weed loosely to avoid damaging and chipping your grinder. Likewise, make sure you clean the coffee grinder when you’re done, if you don’t want your morning coffee to have an extra kick tomorrow.
This method may require a little more effort, but it is just as effective. Make sure your grater is clean, place a plate or container under it and start grating. Be careful with your fingers when grating, and make sure that the remaining buds stick to the grater’s teeth when you’re done.
If you don’t have coffee grinders and cheese graters available, maybe it’s time for the classics. If you have a mortar and pestle, you’ll probably want to let the grass sit for a few hours to dry out a bit and make it easier to grind. Then, start working hard after making sure your mortar and pestle are clean. Make sure not to grind too hard.
This method may be more laborious than some others, but it is no less effective. If you are without any of the above appliances, a cutting board and a knife will be no less effective. Make sure your knife is sharp and head into the hideout.
Glass and scissors
A shot that can be used to grind weed Maybe you’re at a party and the host doesn’t have fancy things like a fancy ‘cutting board’ or ‘knife’. Chances are, there are still some shots available and a pair of scissors tucked away somewhere, and that’s all you really need.
Put your bud into a (clean – can’t be emphasized enough) shot glass and start cutting it in there. If all the shots are being used because there are six different quarter games, you can also cut the bud into a plate.
Prescription bottle and coin
You might be thinking, “That’s all fine and dandy, but what if I’m out of the house? What about the pothead on the go?” We’ve got you covered, buddy. If you’ve got change and a prescription bottle, then you’ve got a shaker for home use. Currency is known to carry germs, so you’ll probably want to wipe down your coins with a sanitizing cloth, before you start being safe.
Put a few buds in a prescription bottle or similar container (don’t pack too many, you want some room), throw in a few coins (nickels or quarters are best), secure the top and start shaking. Check your progress approximately once every 20 seconds.
Simply choose it
If all else fails, you still have the fingers the good Lord blessed you with. If you really have nothing else to use, the tried and true method of manual bud removal will never let you down.
It may take a bit longer than the other methods, but it should also give you enough time to think about how useful it would be to buy a grinder.
