WHAT IS KIEF AND HOW TO USE IT
If you’ve used a multi-chamber weed grinder, you’ve probably seen dust-like material accrue in the bottom chamber. That “dust” is called kief — highly potent and worth collecting. Learn about kief, ways to collect it, and how it can enhance your cannabis experience.
There are several ways you can use kief on its own or with other cannabis products:
- Sprinkled on top of ground flower. Enhance the potency of a bowl by sprinkling kief on top of the ground flower. An added layer of kief can increase the overall cannabinoid and terpene content, making for a more potent smoking experience.
- Roll an infused joint. Infused pre-rolls are pre-rolled joints with the addition or infusion of concentrates either inside the joint, on the outside paper, or a combination of both. Make your own infused joint by sprinkling kief over ground flower before rolling.
- Make hash. Apply heat and pressure to collected kief to create hash, a concentrated cannabis product. Simply fold the kief inside parchment paper and apply heat and pressure with a hair straightener or a specialized rosin press. You can smoke or dry-vape the resulting hash.
- Create moon rocks. Moon rocks are made by taking a cannabis bud, coating it with a sticky cannabis concentrate of your choice, then rolling it in kief. Once prepared, you can smoke Moon Rocks in a pipe, bong, or vaporizer.
- Add to edibles. Incorporate kief into your homemade cannabis edibles by decarboxylating it first — heating it at a low temperature to activate the cannabinoids — and then mixing it into a fat, like oil or butter, for even distribution.
