Does grinding make you higher?

Why has soap bar made this massive come back - as supposed 'hash' ?

I've had so many people offer me 'hash' that looks worse than old school soap bar (yes I smoked it back in the day. :()

Any idiot who buys that shit needs a slap.

aw man, all the "soft black" bullshit too. the majority of people think they know about hashes and cannabis in general but fuck sake...
people think that is good? sweet jebus.

at least the hash back in the day (ie 5-7 years ago) was decent most of the time.
now its that shite that reeks of burning tires n binbags n general plastic chemicalness...
a sad state of affairs indeed.

although i had a nice bit of Polm hash.
the eejit i got it from calls it "pollen" though... lost in translation i guess, eh 8)
 
that squidgy stuff is stupidly lame I refused to smoke it, I heard of it after my soap bar days and couldn't help but lol at the lame sausage things they rolled into spliffs....

Also for all you lucky people not in the UK, heres a song explaining soap bar.

It might not be a placebo.

When you grind it, it allows more air to get around the weed when you burn it, so you might get larger, stronger hits- it burns better.

I find ground weed burns better in a joint or bong or cone. It is possible that larger inhalations of marijuana overwhelm the lungs more, and cause more THC to be absorbed than lower hits. Or it could be the other way around.

Basically grinding up = helps it burn. It can certainly seem stronger at first because you might get 4-5 larger, stronger hits, instead of say 10-15 small ones.
 
Grinding weed increases the overall density of the weed, by a surprising margin.

Although you're smoking the same amount, it looks like less because the ground bud takes up less space, and most people don't weigh their bowls.

It also makes it smoke way the hell better, so you can also take bigger hits. This would tend to "confirm" the increase in potency: You smoke what looks like the same amount (but is actually more), the hit doesn't seem any harsher (because it burns better) but you got higher (because you smoked more weed).
 
well if you grind it you have more chance of smoking 100% of your weed, unlike nugs which tend to burn on the outside and leave little parts of green unburnt inside

so i guess grinding could make you higher

but it's probably mostly likely placebo, i doubt it has any real affect
 
It depends a lot on the bowl and your lighting technique. The most efficient way to get all the THC out of pot is to vaporize at a temperature somewhere between the boiling point of THC and the combustion point of the plant matter. Grinding can increase the amount of your bud that you burn excessively (some of the THC gets destroyed before boiling off), but it also makes it easier to smoke everything more or less evenly - as ! MDMA ! rightly says, if you pack big chunks of bud and smoke it, you'll probably reduce the outside to ash while leaving the very center of the chunk at least partly unsmoked.

I like to use grinders with buds that aren't bone dry yet. The drier they get, the easier it is to burn all of it without grinding, and the hotter it burns to begin with, so I avoid grinding really dry buds too finely. If they're dry enough, you can just crumble them with your fingers anyway.
 
There's a very specific biochemical reaction that results from grinding the weed in a metal grinder that makes the cannabinoids penetrate the blood brain barrier much more efficiently. It's called transbobulation.
 
If you have some really good bud i would suggest you break it down with your hands, you lose precious crystals when you grind that shit up and if you're actually getting the good stuff you'll find that after its ground up you will see bits and peices of nug stuck inside the teeth of the grinder. If you have had a grinder for a while and used it to grind up only dank my bet is you have a green tint all on the inside of your grinder, thats those precious crystals stuck to your grinder.. never to be smoked :(

Unless you take it out of your grinder and smoke that shit up...
 
by grinding your weed, especially if u use a coffee grinder will make smaller pieces of chopped up material, when you pack your cone because there are now less gaps in the plant matter you will most likely be packing more into your cone than you would if you just chopped up with scissors.

therefore you might feel a lot more stoned than you usually would after you smoke it!

thats the simplest reason i can think of to support the theory......
 
you would fill more space and have have less gaps with a fine powder than chunkiness of unevenly sized bits of chop

If someone has a good pair of digital scales, compare the difference in weight with different methods of chopping or grinding.

there's a easy but practical science based experiment to test my theory....

if its correct, this information can be used for harm reduction.

lol choping your weed up dosent increese the THC % plus choping up makes it eayser to roll eayser to pack cones and makes it eayser to rip cones without blocking up the cone

Iso hash..... grinder wash.... Sounds tasty?

i get every last crystal, they all end up in the grinder, and from there go to whatever i deem them for.
