    Hey..my friends and i are having this argument. Instead of grinding the weed and just piking it off them stem and putting it in the bowl doesn't give you less out of your weed than if you grinded it up right?

    Yeah not grinding will give you less bang for you buck.

    More surface area=more THC exposed

    Ground bud burns more efficiently.

    okay thanks! then can i ask you..if you do grind it up and put it in the bowl..whats stopping it falling down the tube or even worse, when you start to rip the bong, it being sucked through?

    You'll still be burning the same amount of weed. The only difference is a grinder helps pack it in a bowl or joint easier/better. Grinder is always better imo just because of that.

    EDIT: A screen will stop it for a bowl. Bong wise, it just falls into the water.

    Screens, a bigger piece of bud that you don't grind up (kinda goes against what I said but it works lol). Some people use small pebbles, but I don't think I would do that w/ nice glass.

    Buy a metal screen 5/$1

    You can buy various kinds of filters at your local headshop or you could use the cheaper option and find yourself a small pebble to act as a stopper.

    I grind when I smoke bowls out the bong
    I use my fingers for rolling
    you don't need a screen cause the weed wont go thru unless its burned

    If the bud is good enough you shouldn't need a screen.

    good bud = lots of thc = sticky, just take your ground/ungrounded weed in whatever piece you prefer and pack it down.

    Its not like your putting sand in a bowl, its more like putting bits and pieces of a sponge in a bowl. it wont go through unless you pull really hard.

    The bud won't suck through. It isn't ground fine enough to fall through the hole. It may, however, suck through when it's cashed. :)

    Also, ground weed burns much better. A friend and I had the same argument when he first began to smoke. I won the argument with this: If nugs burn better than ground weed, why are grinders immensely popular?

    i feel like it tastes better and isnt as harsh if i dont grind it up.when i grind it up it burns faster too.i like it to burn slow and be smooth so i dont grind mine up.and also it doesnt fall in the water as easy if i break it up
