How to Grind Weed without a Grinder?

So you fucked up and have no grinder. Someone forgot it in the car and it’s too cold and too far to go get it. Or, your old one broke and you haven’t gotten around to getting a new one. Don’t worry, that’s what we’re here for.

Grinding Weed without a Grinder: 5 Easy Ways

There are many ways to navigate life as a stoner without a grinder. However, let this be a lesson to you because grinders will always be better than any DIY method.

Grinders chop weed evenly and create a fluffy product that’s easy to carry and handle. Additionally, there’s a bottom compartment, where the “kief” is stored. This powder contains a bunch of cannabinoids that can be sprinkled on top of your hash, making for an extra-potent high.

So after this article and this cost-effective high, pull together enough cash to get a quality grinder. But for now, here are 5 easy ways to break up weed without one.

 

1. Coin and a Pill Bottle

 

This is the oldest trick and the book: A coin and a pill bottle.

Simply dump out all the pills in an Advil or allergy medicine bottle, and find yourself a shiny coin. Before placing the coin in the bottle make sure to clean that sucker off (after all we’re living through a pandemic at the moment).

Pro Tip: Use a quarter as the thicker the coin the more it will break up your bud.

After placing the coin into the bottle, go ahead and pack your weed. Try not to overpack as you want to give the coin enough room to do its thing.

Now all you have to do is shake like a motherfucker.

2. No Grinder? Try a Pizza Cutter

 

You could go the old try to cut up your weed with a knife route. Sure, you can picture yourself as Gordon Ramsey or Chef Boyardee chopping up your weed on a cutting board, but let’s face the facts: You’re no chef and you’re likely going to cut off a piece of your finger.

So, what’s the next best thing if you have no grinder? You grab yourself a pizza cutter.

Pile your weed on a cutting board and go to town with a sharp pizza cutter. This method is so easy a caveman could do it. Conversely, please be careful and keep your fingers in tact.

3. Scissors and a Shot Glass

This is a lot like the coin in the bottle method, but for those who find themselves lacking the aforementioned supplies.

First off, cut your bud into smaller pieces and let the remains fall into the shot glass. When you’ve cut your cannabis enough, proceed to mortar and pestle the rest of your weed.

Stick the scissors into that shot glass and do your best Amish impression if you were tasked at churning creamy butter.

Pro Tip: Cutting and pestling work best in tandem; try one method and then the other. And once again, please be careful.

4. Coffee Grinder

Yup, a coffee grinder, and other food processors will grind your weed just fine. In fact, they actually work better than most traditional grinders.

 

However, using a coffee grinder only works if you have a large quantity of weed. After all, coffee beans are a lot smaller than bud.

A Coffee grinder is very easy to use and will consistently give you a finely grounded product. So, you’re in luck if you have no grinder but have a coffee one around instead. Moreover, if you’re shopping around for grinders, consider giving these a look.

5. No Grinder? Use Your Hands

This is how our forefathers did it and how their forefathers, and so on.

Get primal with your weed and use what God gave you. Let it be known that this should be your absolute last method for breaking down weed as its tedious and sticky.

However, it is fun to at least try once as you feel the structure of each of the buds you’re about to inhale. You build a relationship with your weed. And it’s only at the expense of sticky hands and a less fine product.

So get out there and get acquainted with your weed! And remember…
