Herb grinder/Crusher | Jb Lifestyle

Since the 1960s, cannabis enthusiasts have been using grinders to break down dense buds into fine, smokable particles. In this article, you'll learn about the benefits of using a weed grinder and how to choose the best grinder. We'll also offer some pro tips for getting the most out of your herb grinder.

The purpose of an herb grinder is to grind marijuana buds down to a finer consistency that you can roll into a joint or pack into a bowl. Grinders are used primarily to improve the smoking experience by breaking down cannabis flower evenly. You may not need a grinder to break down nugs into smaller pieces, but using one decreases the likelihood of clogging your pipe. It allows you to use the flower more efficiently and makes joints and blunts burn more evenly.

Grinders may be made from metal, plastic, or wood, with some lacking detachable parts and others assembled in as many as five pieces.

Two-piece grinders include a lid and grinder bottom (also called a bud catcher)
Three-piece grinders have a lid, grinding chamber, and storage chamber
Four- and five-piece grinders come with a lid, grinder bottom, storage catcher, and one or two kief catchers. The addition of a kief catcher can inspire some creative uses for collected kief. You can press it into hash or rosin, sprinkle some into a favorite recipe, or roll your joint in kief for an extra potent kick.
