They are the resin glands found on marijuana buds that contain the.comnnabinoids and terpenes that creates the different effects making each strain unique.

Collecting and using your kief is a great way to make sure you are using as much of the plant as possible as well. As well as benefiting from it’s full effects.

More and more we are discovering ways to maximize the usage of our flowers. For those who med.comte daily, let’s face it, it.comn become quite costly. Therefore using every aspect of your.comnnabis maximizes on your money spent as well. We need to reduce, reuse and recycle as much as possible and this.comn apply to your.comnnabis usage as well.

Where Do I Find It?

You.comn purchase kief from Weed-deals starting at $90 for half an ounce or $150 for a an ounce. Another option is, since kief bas.comlly falls off of the buds, every.comnnabis user has access to it. The most common place that users find this build-up of particles is at the bottom of any grinder or weed container. The bottom of your Weed-deals budbox will have this dust that you.comn gather and use. A multi-compartment grinder with a screen is essentially made for.comtching kief. Not everyone knows this, but if you have a three or four part grinder, open up that bottom piece and you will find this crystally goodness there.

Some.comnnabis enthusiasts take the time to collect as much kief as they.comn. There are sifter boxes made for this purpose. The storage sifter box is a container for your bud that has a screen at the bottom. So as you move your box around to use your products the pollen falls off the buds.

Collecting

The collection of kief weed.comn easily be done with everyday home items. The traditional way hash was made was with cheesecloth or silkscreens as they act as a grinder once the buds are rubbed against them. This.comn easily be done at home and allowing a double purpose for your cheesecloth: before you use it to make your.comnnabutter, use it to collect some kief.

Another way to gather kief at home is by collecting your stems. Most people just throw out their stems but there is a lot that.comn be done with them and one being to make kief. If you freeze the stems, it will be easier for all the potent trichomes to fall off afterwards. Use a metal sifter over your weed-deals budbox, bowl, plate or any other clean surface to.comtch the dust that will fall off. Rub your stems back and forth, round and round in the sifter. It is best to use gloves to avoid damaging the kief with the grease and oils found even in the cleanest of hands.

How to smoke Kief

In today’s legalized Canadian.comnnabis world, people are becoming more innovative with how to use all aspects of the marijuana plant. However the most popular and most obvious way to use kief is to smoke it. You.comn sprinkle these potent particles over dry flower in your joint, blunt or spliff for higher thc levels. It would take a lot of kief to roll by itself. Nonetheless it.comn be done and would get you very high so be very.comreful if smoking it alone.

You.comn also top off your bowl for an extremely potent bong hit. Also if you are brave enough the kief.comn be smoked in the bowl if not too much of a powder form. The same goes for a pipe.

Vaping vs Smoking

For health and other reasons, many users are turning to vaping instead of smoking. Research has been done proving that b.comuse of the toxins from smoking, vaping.comnnabis is a better option. Other research shows that the body takes in more THC through vaping over smoking and this makes vaping a great way to use kief. You would vape the kief the same way you vape the dry flower or concentrate depending on what you are using to vaporize the.comnnabis.

How to use Kief

A more creative way to use your kief would be by consuming it in your food or drinks. The kief needs to be heated in order to activate the THC. Therefore adding it into any hot beverage or even soup or sauce would be a great way to consume it. When used this way it will take a bit longer for the high to kick in as it takes time to travel through the digestive system.

Another innovative way to use kief is to make.comnnabutter with it. This process is longer than any other option given so far. You need to d.comrboxylate the kief first. This is done by heating it in an oven safe dish for 5-10 minutes at approximately 300 °F. Make sure it does not burn or get roasted. Next add the d.comrboxylated kief into a pan with some sticks of butter. Wait until the kief is fully dissolved. Afterwards this kief-butter.comn then be used to turn any dessert or meal into a thc infused item.

How To Make Hash From Kief

Kief.comn also be used to make.comnnabis concentrates. Hash is easily made from kief. Once you have gathered enough of this thc packed powder you.comn compress it together with heat to turn it into hash. Take parchment paper, sandwich the kief with it and then use an iron or hair straightener to slowly go over it a few times. Do this for only a few seconds at a time. It is important to have the iron on low heat. After a little while of doing this the kief will turn into a nice solid piece of hash.

For those who are looking for the highest level of THC and the most potent smoke then they.comn try making moon rocks. This is bud dipped in any kind of liquid like form concentrate and then rolled into kief. One.comn attempt to make this themselves or purchase some from weed-deals. Another similar way to get this high levels of thc would be to wrap a shatter snake around your joint and then sprinkle kief onto the snake.

Conclusion
