Why do you need a grinder for weed?
A grinder is a tool used to break down cannabis into small bits so they are a similar size and consistency. Weed is commonly ground down for rolling joints, blunts, and spliffs, but can also be done for packing bowls in pipes and bongs for a smoother, more consistent burn.
Types of weed grinders
Grinders are usually circular, resembling a puck, so they can be rotated to break down weed (as in the image above).
They can be made out of a variety of materials:
Metal—expensive, but durable
Plastic—cheap, but breaks easily
Wood—usually more attractive, but hard to clean
Grinders also come in different sizes, usually ranging from 2” in diameter to 6”. With a small grinder, you’ll have to do multiple loads to break down a nug, but they are portable and easy to throw in a backpack.
Bigger grinders can break down more nugs in one load and have more leverage, making it easier to break down any amount of nugs, but they aren’t as portable.
The most common type of grinder is a four-piece metal grinder. The four pieces are:
Lid—with teeth for grinding
Grind section—this has teeth for grinding and holes for weed to fall through
Storage chamber—this third compartment of the grinder collects and stores weed and has a screen to filter kief
Kief catcher—where kief is collected
weed Grinder
