Grinding marijuana is essential for easy access and an enhanced smoking experience. Grinding is a key element in a weed smoker's kit. However, a grinder isn't always on hand. Fortunately, there are several ways to grind your marijuana without a grinder. Here's the marijuana grinding survival guide you've always needed to grind your weed without having to buy one.
- USING SCISSORSThis is a much more elegant solution; you can use regular scissors or pruning shears to shred your marijuana. Simply place the weed on a plate or a sheet of paper and close the scissors over it several times until it's shredded. This method is fast, clean, and very efficient, and is probably the second best option after a grinder.
- WITH A KNIFE AND A GRATERYou can use a knife and a cheese grater to shred your marijuana. Place the weed on a plate and use the knife to chop it into small pieces. Then, use the grater to shred the marijuana even further. Almost every kitchen has a knife and a cutting board. So find a sharp knife, like the one you'd use to chop onions and potatoes, and get to work on your marijuana buds.
- WITH A CREDIT CARDYou can use a credit card or a blender to break up your marijuana. Simply place the weed on a plate or a piece of paper and rub the credit card over the marijuana several times until it's broken up.
- WITH ONE PRESS ONE PAPERA paper press is a very useful tool for breaking up marijuana. You simply place the weed between two sheets of paper and press it with your hands several times.
- WITH YOUR HANDSYou can grind marijuana with your hands; it's the most traditional and simple method, but it requires a little more time and effort. However, if you're smoking super-sticky, dense weed, this can significantly hinder your ability to roll a joint. In some parts of the world, this is the most common way to grind marijuana, especially in the Mediterranean.
- WASH IT!: Adventurous stoners and gadget lovers know about cold-rolled resin washers, which are devices that do the job perfectly, all in one miracle machine. The Pollinator Company's Bubbleator may be the most well-known cold-hash washer. Simply put, just add a generous amount of weed, some ice and water, plug it in, and let the magic happen. The end product is premium, solvent-free hash.
- MACE AND MORTAR: The mortar and pestle method works best with buds that are already very dry. If your weed contains too much moisture, you may end up crushing it instead of breaking it into small pieces.
CONCLUSION:
Grinding your marijuana without a grinder is easy and doesn't require any special tools. Using scissors, knives, graters, credit cards, paper clips, or even your hands, you can shred your marijuana in seconds. So you no longer have an excuse not to enjoy your weed! Of course, none of these options will ever be better than using a grinder; these options should be used for survival purposes only.
We end this article by pointing out (again) that a grinder is truly essential if you like marijuana; and we assume this is the case, otherwise you wouldn't be reading this article up to this point. We'd even go so far as to say that you shouldn't have just one grinder, but several. No one wants to lose their favorite grinder, so keep your favorite grinder at home along with your rolling papers and buy another simple grinder for your outings. It's better to have an extra one and not need it than to need one and not have it.
