As you grind your bud, trichomes fall through the screen and collect in the catcher. Once you've accumulated a decent amount, use a scraper to remove the kief.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you're looking to process large quantities of kief at home, you can purchase a kief box, which typically has two chambers \u2014 one for sifting cannabis flower and the other for catching kief. Put your cannabis into the chamber, close the box and shake. As you shake the flower, the trichomes fall off, get sifted through the mesh screen, and end up in the kief side of the box.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wm-article-table-of-contents-header\" id=\"how-to-use-kief\">\n\tHow to use kief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sprinkle it on top of a bowl, joint, blunt, or into a hookah<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Sprinkling a generous dusting of kief on the top of a packed bowl, joint, or blunt can dramatically increase the potency, making for a more intense and longer-lasting high. Adding kief will also cause the cannabis to burn slower, extending the time it takes to smoke \u2014 perfect if you enjoy long smoke sessions with friends. If you're a fan of smoking shisha out of a hookah, you can sprinkle it on top of the tobacco before adding the hot coals.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t<figure class=\"wp-block-image \">\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03.jpg\" data-modal-open=\"lightbox_2110\">\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"(min-width: 768px) 476px, (min-width: 1218px) 772px, 100vw\" alt=\"kief bowl\" title=\"Click to see a larger version of the image\">\n\t\t\t<\/a><cite>Photo by: Gina Coleman\/Weedmaps<\/cite><\/figure>\t\t\t<div id=\"lightbox_2110\" data-modal data-modal-hide-heading data-modal-manual-close hidden>\n\t\t\t\t<h2>Image lightbox<\/h2>\n\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-768x512.jpg\" srcset=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03.jpg 1600w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/181016_Learn_KiefBowl_03-1536x1023.jpg 1536w\" sizes=\"100vw\" alt=\"kief bowl\">\n\t\t\t\t<button role=\"button\" class=\"a11y-modal__close-btn\" data-modal-close-btn>\n\t\t\t\t\t<svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"currentColor\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M13.414 12l4.293 4.293a1 1 0 01-1.414 1.414L12 13.414l-4.293 4.293a1 1 0 11-1.414-1.414L10.586 12 6.293 7.707a1 1 0 011.414-1.414L12 10.586l4.293-4.293a1 1 0 011.414 1.414L13.414 12z\"\/><\/svg>\n\t\t\t\t<\/button>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Create cannabutter<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can use kief to whip up a <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/products-and-how-to-consume\/make-canna-butter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">homemade batch of cannabutter<\/a> and turn that into cakes, brownies, salad dressings, etc. When using kief in your favorite edibles, remember that <a href=\"https:\/\/weedmaps.com\/learn\/dictionary\/decarboxylation\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">it's not decarboxylated yet<\/a> so make sure to expose it to enough heat long enough to activate the THC or you may be disappointed.

Since kief is concentrated trichomes, it's inherently more potent than bud of the same strain. That's one reason some consumers prefer to use small amounts of kief to boost the potency of other forms of cannabis, rather than just consuming kief itself.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What is the point of kief?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Kief is another form of cannabis concentrate but one that collects automatically at the bottom of a cannabis grinder. If you already grind flower to vape or smoke, you've got kief on hand. And because it's concentrated trichomes, it's more potent than the flower it fell off of. It only makes sense to harness the sticky resin and use it somehow.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Is kief illegal?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>If you live in an area where cannabis is illegal, yes.
