Okay so I havent had money to buy a grinder so ive been tearing up the bud with my bare hands and piling it in the pipe but when I take a hit its super harsh and I end up coughing for a solid 5-10 minutes after each hit, it feels like my throats on fire. Would grinding the weed help reduce this harshness?
I have a small vial of menthol for weed that is harsh as fuck. Just a drop or two in the middle layer of the bud and then no more harshness. But, menthol is bad for you, so there is that. But if the bud you smoke chokes you up when you are just pinching the bud apart, its either bitch lung or uncured bud. And it would be alot more harsh if you grind it with a grinder. If it is bitch lung, learn to french inhale. You waste a bit of smoke, but it helps reduce the harshness.
