Do you grind your weed before packing a bowl?

Don't grind it too fine, powder wouldn't be too wise imho, since there needs to be air between the particles for them to burn properly.
 
When I smoked, I never ground unless it was low grade. Then I'd take all the stems and seeds out and grind every bit of it up since I'd smoke low grade a lot faster and roll it up a lot more often too. I never liked my high grade getting dry on me.
 
LOL .

I've only ever seen one person in my entire life NOT grind up the weed and literally stick a huge, great nug in my pipe .

My expression was WTF. Youuu mad ?
but the guy was a newb to smoking so i didnt get mad at him

99% of Australian's will at lease Scissor chop their weed before smoking. Some actually consider it a luxury to use a coffee grinder or similar as well. Here the aim of the game if to pull big cones; that is, get the whole bowl (for you Americans) lit, roast it, and hit it all at once. I know a lot of other cultures will taker smaller "green hits" and only "torch" fractions of the bowl. Find yourself a Cannabis Forum and marvel at the diversity :).

Edit: It's worth adding that the majority, being at least 3/4 smokers will add Tobacco to their chop for any/all of the following reasons.

1) To make it burn better
2) To make it go further (less weed gets sucked through into the water and/or burns aimlessly if you are using joints)
3) For a more complete feeling (of course you don't "miss" this if you have never smoked 'spun' before)

Personally, I don't mind either.
 
i grind my herb... the grinder i have has a keif filter... so i collect the keif every so often and put that in the bowl and burn that too... when the grinder needs to be cleaned... iso wash it and use that too...
 
you gotta grind it to get a clean hit/smoke imo. Then your not crack hitting a pipe and spraying lighter fluid all over it. With a ground of bowl, u can just likeght the side of the bowl with one split second lighter flick and have it roll all the way through with no more lighting.
 
I break my shit down, like picc it apart with my fingers. But don't really grind that much unless I happened to have a grinder handy, otherwise I can really careless.
 
I only have a small grinder...its wood with metal rods, and a really really awesome roundish shape that's fun to play with, but I have to pretty much pick the weed out and there's always plant matter stuck on it no matter what, probably since its wood, its a nice one though.

It entirely depends on the weed if I'm grinding it. I always smoke from a glass bowl or a glass on glass bong with the occasional blunt, and for blunts I think it makes life much easier. Since I usually smoke alone, I usually just use my hands to break up the weed for the bowl/bong since it's fewer steps and just easier. However, on occasion, I get this ridiculously dense nug, it's decent weed but its hard to deal with, so a grinder is pretty much necessary for that --- even if it's decent, sometimes I turn weed that dense down for something a little easier to deal with.
 
I think its better breaking the nug apart a bit, still lets you just barely wave a flame over it before it catches a cherry and lots of the resin glands remain intact. I'd really only use a grinder for rolling a j and even then its not necessary IMO.
 
I've always either scissored the buds...tore it apart with my hands (pre-grinder era) & now use a very nice grinder. People who just jam a bud in the bowl & expect to toke that way, are wasting a lotta weed.
There's too much air being inhaled when the bud is still as tight as a rock. Always grind your weed (not overly, where it just turns into powder) & it'll give a better & bigger hit. 42 yrs ago, we'd get a dinosaur to stomp on our buds, but now it's kinder to use a grinder!!:\
 
I don't but I probably should. I should just give up on the bong entirely and get a vape. Healthier, better, and higher. :)

Don't assume a vape is going to replace your bong. I used one for several months and enjoyed it at the time but now I prefer to take a few hits off a pipe. I hardly ever use my vape these days.

Any reason for that or do you just like the taste and feel of the smoke entering your lungs? Don't mean that sarcastically either. :p
 
I grind, partially because I like the kief, and mostly because I like how finely ground buds burn with a thick resiny smoke. But there's nothing like stuffing a bud into a bowl and going to town lol.
