Kief

How to Buy Kief online Chicago

Cannabis is covered in sticky, crystal-like formations called trichomes. Cannabinoids and terpenes are packed in these trichomes, and they’re surprisingly easy to collect.  If you use a grinder to break up your nugs, we’ve got great news for you: you’ve probably already got a stash ready to go.  Whether you mean to or not, you collect kief in the bottom chamber of your grinder. As your grinder tears through dense buds, the cannabinoid-rich trichomes covering the flower fall through your grinder’s screen to the machine’s bottom.

Most extracts are created by soaking cannabis in some type of chemical—often, butane is used. The amazing simplicity of kief collection is that you get to extract potent cannabinoids from cannabis plant matter without using any solvents.   You can collect kief using these strategies:

• Put a coin in your grinder. Place a thoroughly cleaned and disinfected coin in your grinder’s middle chamber. This will help push even more kief through your grinder’s screen.
• Freeze your flower and grinder before grinding. When cannabis freezes, its trichomes become very brittle. This makes it even easier for them to snap off during the grinding process. Put your weed-loaded grinder in the freezer for 10 minutes, then grind as usual. You’ll be surprised by the increase in collected kief.
• Use a pollen box. These boxes are designed specifically for separating pollen from herbs and lots of brands make them with cannabis consumers in mind.
• Get a silk screen. Take a medium sized silk screen and place it over a container. Gently rub the cannabis plant matter across the screen and watch it gather in the container below.

How to use kief

Sprinkle it on top of a bowl, joint, blunt, or into a hookah

Sprinkling a generous dusting of kief on the top of a packed bowl, joint, or blunt can dramatically increase the potency, making for a more intense and longer-lasting high. Adding kief will also cause the cannabis to burn slower, extending the time it takes to smoke — perfect if you enjoy long smoke sessions with friends. If you’re a fan of smoking shisha out of a hookah, you can sprinkle it on top of the tobacco before adding the hot coals.
