To the security screeners at the Yakima Air Terminal, the device in the belongings of a departing passenger looked like a grenade. That prompted the brief evacuation of about a dozen people from the terminal Tuesday evening. (http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2010/03/17/national/main6307775.shtml)
Military bomb technicians from the Army's Yakima Training Center were called.
Yakima police Sgt. Tim Bardwell says the item carried by a 23-year-old California man was actually a commercially purchased marijuana grinder.
The man was arrested for investigation of drug possession. Bardwell says the grinder contained a substance that appeared to be marijuana.

This is why drug education is important.
Confusing Stoners with Terrorists, it's almost as if they're *trying* to associate the two.
Actually, to be fair, this is what they probably found, and if it is what they found, I don't blame them for being a little paranoid, and the stoner who had that with him is a fucking idiot.

the handle flips up and you use that to spin it around, seen it at the smoke shops...
but if you notice the threads are on the inside
so its really just going to waste all the keith your collecting in the bottom
it probally has a good amount even if the guy thought it was empty
which is why that guy is so fucked
small scissors seems to work best, yet none of the shops carry them
I've never seen a grinder that looked like that before. I've got a couple of them and they don't look like that.
I agree, the carrier is an idiot to try and carry that on a plane.

Anyone who brings drug paraphenalia to an airport is probably too stupid to be allowed out on their own.
Let alone if it looks like a weapon...

Interesting. We use the term "Keif" in RI. I never knew there was a variation of the word, and I've always wanted to know where the term originated from. Which one of us is doing it wrong?

and that i, a spag, usually spell things how they sound...
HAHA both of us is wrong its كيف

b-b-but I thought grinders were for tobacco use only :x
even tops tobacco comes preshredded
those and the small rose vials are so not for normal use.
Small rose vials?

They are paraphenalia for one of the more "base" intoxicants.
Right, but what are they exactly?

Speed or Crack pipes.
They sell them in the gas stations and liquor stores around here.
They're little glass tubes that have little flowers in them.

If you want small scissors just get sewing or manicure scissors, they should do the same job. Surely you don't need special ones with little leaves printed on them?
its point of sale, they sell grinders so people get those because thats whats there...
I gave mine away when I quit.
A blender usually works great.

whatever happened to just pinching off a piece and packing it in the bowl/bong/whatever? One of the reasons I like pot is that I don't have to go through some drawn-out process that requires me to fuck with things. Same reason I prefer beer over mixing drinks.

Ok that's for "usually", the blender was for when we had to roll a shitload of them for a party. And partly for the "hey can we use your blender?", "what for?" discussion :lol:
I used to use a grinder for making it rollable with tobacco. Filthy euro spag!
The only people I know who have grinders are those who LIKE to get all kitschy collecting the paraphernalia. And they do that with about every other hobby in their lives, too. Only a dumbass would bring that shit on a plane. Never again the Tommy Chong times, hello....

To be able to roll it I guess...if it comes too sticky/chunky? Seems lazy but like I said, I only knew people into "weed gadgets" who had them at all. Everyone else I know uses their fingers.

Grinders are useful for a few things:
1. Truning skag/clippings into hash... or at least the first step in the process. You grind up leaves/crappy weed/shake etc and the kief collector at the bottom separates the glans, crystals etc from the plant matter. The kief can then be pressed into a pseudo-hash (not the britspag "hash=crap" but the normal hash=potent stuff minus the plant maatter).
2. Smoother hits on joints and bongs. Ground weed tends to hit more smoothly in a bong or joint than stuff thats just been kinda torn up or ripped off the stem. This is mostly true for midis or pretendies, not necessary for good Kine Bud.
3. Some of my friends grind all their pot because they use the kief catcher as a backup for when they run out and can't afford/find/etc actual weed.
I have a small, generic looking grinder which I use when rolling joints... that's about it.
Handy when cooking. No one wants a fatty stem in their brownies.

Sometimes I like mixed drinks too.
I also don't like how the crystals get absorbed into the oils in my fingers when I'm tearing up buds to roll a joint or what have you.
With a grinder, you can catch the crystals and you hardly have to touch the weed at all.
That said, the grinder was a gift—I probably would never have gone out and bought one.

wouldn't you just simmer the pot in butter anyway and then strain the butter through a cheesecloth and use it to make brownies/cookies/caramels/whatever?
works a whole lot better than just tossing ground up bud in some brownie mix.

Double boil, usually. I usually don't have cheesecloth, come to think of it. :lol:
or you just crumble hash into your butter and use that.
