The best way to grind cannabis involves using a grinder. But then, there are situations when you simply do not have one around. You have good weed in hand, the lighter and environment, but not the grinder.
Whether you miss a grinder or you have no idea how to use a weed grinder, there are ways to do it without one.
Hands
This is one of the easiest weed hacks – simply crunch and scrunch weed with your fingers. You might, however, get some sticky fingers, which will suck when you roll. But then, it is better than nothing. Rub your hands against your clothes to dry them up and go for it.
Scissors and a shot
So, not sure how to grind weed without a grinder? Get a narrow glass – ideally, a shot. Drop the weed inside, then put the scissors in and snip away like a maniac. It will take a few minutes, but this versatile method makes a great DIY grinder. Plus, it is better than using your own fingers anyway.
Coffee grinder
It feels like cheating, but lots of people have coffee grinders at home. You must be cautious though. A good grinder will make buds too fine. Also, keep in mind that your coffee may never taste the same again.
Knife and board
You can always improvise when trying to learn how to grind weed without a grinder. For instance, almost every kitchen has a chopping board and a knife. Get your best knife out, put the weed on the board and pretend you are cooking for a television show. The blade should not be serrated though.
Mortar and pestle
Interested in feeling like a scientist by making your own bud grinder? Easy! Scientists rely on this set to grind pretty much everything. For this reason, the set makes a good homemade grinder. Put the weed inside and start working on it until you obtain the desired fineness.
Pollen shaker
Your mother’s pollen shaker makes an excellent DIY weed grinder. This is a more laborious method, but desperate times call for desperate measures. You do not need any experience to learn how to grind weed with one of these things. Get about 10g of weed buds, put them into the shaker and add the recipient in the freezer for up to an hour. Shake it like there is no tomorrow for around 15 minutes.
It might be a good idea to wrap it into a towel once you start shaking or your fingers will freeze. You might need to change the hand every few minutes, as this solution feels exhausting.
Bottom line, anyone can learn how to grind weed without grinder. With some good weed around and no grinder, anyone can find solutions, but these are the top rated ones among “experts”.
