My lord, how big is your grinder?

[–] leah@lemm.ee 4 points 7 months ago

Barely big enough to contain that. It was full to the brim!

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 10 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Grab a pollen press from your local head shop and make some hash coins

[–] leah@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Is it really that simple? Never had any hash before.

[–] iamericandre@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

Yeah it’s that simple. It might not be as strong as say bubble hash or wax but you can smoke the coins alone or i like to sangwich them into bowls

[–] bizzle@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Hash coins are the best hash in my opinion and it really is that easy

[–] ivanafterall@kbin.social 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

See what happens if you smoke it all at once.

Maybe make edibles since it's already so finely ground up

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago (2 children)

I always thought that would be a bad idea. For edibles I prefer to remove all plant matter after extraction. That way only a little bit of off taste remains. With particles this fine you cant strain them away easily. But then maybe most of the kief just melts away? Anyone tried this?

[–] LanternEverywhere@kbin.social 2 points 7 months ago (2 children)

Hm, maybe you can make a food where the weed taste would actually complement the flavor of the dish you're making, like for example putting it in a basil pesto

[–] riodoro1@lemmy.world 4 points 7 months ago

Weed doesnt really taste that great, but maybe in a pesto the taste would be lost.

What I do recently is boil the weed prior, get rid of the resulting „tea” and then rinse it a couple of times with boiling water. Takes a lot of those water soluble plant compounds and doesn’t take away too much of the fat and alcohol soluble goodness. After drying I’ve made quite a potent oil out of it which ended up looking greenish like olive oil and honestly wasn’t too bad on a pizza or a croissant.

[–] leah@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

Oooh, pesto, you may be on to something there.

[–] leah@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

That's kind of what I was thinking. I've made canna-butter before, but I could never strain out all the bits. But that was with shake, not pure kief.

[–] Syntopicon@sh.itjust.works 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Wow! What grinder do you have!?

[–] leah@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

It's not available anymore, else I'd link it, but it's just a cheap 4 piece grinder from Amazon.

[–] Thcdenton@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Roll wax in it and smoke it in a bong.

[–] reagansrottencorpse@lemmy.world 2 points 7 months ago

Press it into rosin, or sprinkle on top of flower.

Grab some friends!!

[–] Old_Fat_White_Guy@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

Honestly..... that's of no real use whatsoever.

Go ahead and package that up and send it to me. I have a pro grade incinerator and will dispose of it for you. In a series of small controlled fires. BTW Hash.

[–] DeadWorld@lemm.ee 0 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Congratulations! These days id be fine just sprinkling that lovely dust through a bowl over time. There was a time though that this would have been turned into hash

[–] leah@lemm.ee 1 points 7 months ago

I've never made hash, is it difficult?

I used to sprinkle a bit in joints, but I think that contributes to canoeing/running since it would all settle on one side of the j. Perhaps it's time to bust out a pipe.
