\n\tWhat is a grinder?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Grinding your weed before smoking is a crucial step in the consumption process. Using a grinder<\/a> gives you an even and consistent burn when you're smoking, maximizes efficiency, and lets you get the most smoke out of your bud. While you can always pick apart your weed with your fingers, using a specialized herb grinder<\/a> is by far the best way to break your cannabis down into smaller, more smokable pieces.<\/p>\n\n\n\t\t\t
