Do you grind your weed before packing a bowl?

I wasn't even aware that there were people that stuck entire nugs into their bowls and torched away, I always saw people post pictures of nugs sticking out of various glass apparatus and figured they were aesthetic, "stoner porn" shots. I always grind (or at least tear it to bits) my weed, don't understand why you wouldn't and seems completely alien to me.
 
Yes I do grind, the magic flight launch box vape I use works best if the herb is ground.

When I was into smoking I'd grind herb for my dugout and if I was smoking a bowl I'd just put a small piece of nug in the bowl and then put ground herb on top of it. Joints were rolled with ground herb.
 
I usually grind my weed when I load up the bong, just because I think it has a nicer and even burn but I probably do lose more because it gets sucked down into the water quicker. When I'm just packing up my pipe I usually break the bud up with my fingers. I also usually smoke out of my pipe when I'm on the go, and I don't ever carry my grinder with me when I leave my house...
 
I don't use grinders unless they are around; I use fingers. Grinders aren't going to notice those couple of seeds you miss and grind it into the weed; I will. If there is a grinder around, I will get it pretty broken up and then put it through just so it has that fluffiness to it.
 
Joints I always grind my weed, same for my pipe, but yesterday I spent the whole day smoking up at a friend's place, and he mostly used these cheap glass one-hitters and since there was no screen it was better to stick larger nugs in, I found it burned quite well if I stuck the largest nug in the hole, then progressively broke the weed into smaller and smaller chunks as it got to the top.

I'm still just trying to get to terms with you yanks and your bloody terminology - chronic, flight, dank, mucky sweetcorn, superduperchronicshitdawg and whatnot. You kids and your drugs, I tell ya, what will we do with you?

As for the thread, yes....grinding is for the win. I keep my bud in a glass jar for obvious reasons and only grind right before smoking, but yeah, definitely grind it up. You get a lot more smokage out of it this way. If you just hand pick it or god-forgive don't pick it at all, you tend to go through the bud faster. Increase the surface area and you tend to hold on to it for a bit longer. It also ensures you get all of the hit in yer lungs in one go and don't let some of it smoke away as you're exhaling/done with the inhalation.

Grinding conserves the amount of weed 1 needs to toke. Also, in a situation like this, I'd just use a screen in the bong & forget about the 'sucking it into the water' deal for the time being.

This basically sums-up all the reasoning in 1 paragraph!!:\
 
When i used to smoke alot, i would always try to grind/break it up as much as i can. people used to just stuff a bud right in the bowl and it wouldnt smoke good at all weather it was dried or not. plus i read if more surface area of the bud is exposed like grinding it makes it almost more potent but not really, cuz all that the flame is touching gets ignited right away where if you just plop a bud in there and heat it, lots of THC and other psychoactive stuff will just get wasted.
 
/\/\/\/\ Another truth well-written. People who just plop a bud into the bowl/bong are suckin' way too much air with their hit. Find the time to grind & that'll be more than kind!!
 
I'll never understand how some people throw entire nugs into bowls and proceed to smoke. You gotta grind it up, or at least break it apart with you're fingers to get the most out of it. I like to take quick, fat rips. It's impossible to do so unless I grind it up nicely. I want the smoke to hit my lungs all at once, not a little at a time. Grinding it up makes it possible to burn the bowl, and inhale all the smoke at once before any of it hits my lungs.
 
yeah man and then everytime I would try to explain to the person/people I was with if it was their bud they would always "know better" and me I would take my time to break it all up and get the most out of any bud. Can be done with 'bushy' leafy buds or that high grade compact sinsimilla where if its dried and cured real good it like almost turns to a kief-like dust, that kind is good in bong hits or pipe.
 
Yo squidhead, how are you doing me old mucka! Haven't seen you about in a wee while, though I haven't really ventured outta HL in a while either.

I honestly cannot understand how anybody wouldn't grind up their bud. To have the audacious tenacity to then imply that they "know better" for such a futile effort?! PREPOSTEROUS I SAY!

Grind up the bud and make your entire amount of weed last longer.
Grind up the bud and get all of the hit in one go without giving any to the heavens.
Grind up the bud and win.
 
they would act iggnorant like when I strongly suggested that they grind it up, like "oh what do you know blah blah" trying to make me look dumb or something and whenever i would takemy time to grind it like "oh you dont need todo that its a waste of time" i just went PFFFFFF hahaha

Doing OK, attempt4, & I just sent you a PM with some details on what's been happening. You summed up the grindage issue perfectly. I couldn't agree more. People who just jam a bud in a bowl/bong are suckin' way too much air & wasting weed.
