Alright, I promise I’m not being condescending, I just don’t wanna miss anything
Weed comes in buds. You’ve gotta break it apart before you can smoke it. A lot of people use a grinder to make this easier. When you are completely out of weed and really need a hit, you will scrape all of the parts of your grinder to get any weed you can from it to smoke
Honestly I was expecting it to be gross, but this is fine. Thank you for your service.

Thank you
I’m also afraid to ask dw
Grind weed up, some weed left in grinder. Run out of weed, scrape grinder out for the last cone or 2.
Bought a cheap coffee grinder for this job, definitely scraped it out a couple weeks ago.
My friend, do yourself a favor and invest in a proper grinder. You can find pocket grinders with a kief catch for like $15. That catch will be your friend during the hard times. Let it build until you need it, and never clean that shit unless it is into your apparatus of choice.
You are underestimating how good a cheap coffee grinder is. 10 seconds to do what a manual grinder takes minutes to do, costs the same despite being powered, and it can do half an Oz at a time, more if I feel like being careful. One day it’ll be too gummed up for the motor, and then I’ll go spend another 15 AUD for another one, unless it’s gone up in the years I expect it to last.
I do an Isopropyl bath then a quick brush with a tooth brush. Makes it grind like new.
Ive never bathed by grinder in isopropyl in 6+ years and it still grinds like new every time I clean it with my pocket knife. But I did get a steel grinder to make sure I can scrape all I want without getting aluminum in my weed
You’re probably still getting some steel in the weed. It is very unlikely the knife and the grinder share the exact hardness.
But I’d rather have steel than aluminum in my weed. Aluminum oxide fumes are carcinogenic when inhaled, so I’d rather avoid it.
I realize worrying about cancer when talking about smoking is ironic, but still.
Personally i just use a toothpick, but i usually clean for smooth operation as I rarely run out these days.
Welder here. Aluminum oxide inhalation is correlated with an increased risk for alzheimers, not cancer. Hexavalent chromium is a carcinogen, and that comes from heating up stainless steels. So you are actively replacing a relatively non toxic oxide with the potential for an actually toxic carcinogenic gaseous metal, assuming your pocket knife is some sort of stainless steel (statistically very likely).
Doesn’t aluminum need to be heated to several thousand degrees to put off carcinogenic fumes? Otherwise cooking on aluminum foil would be deadly…
Cooking doesn’t usually go much higher than 200 - 250C (400 - 500F). Cigarettes (and I assume joints similarly) reach 900C (1650F) when puffing. I’m not sure at which point aluminum produces fumes, but I dont think the cooking argument holds up.
If you get consistent re ups sometimes you can have Ike 3 different batches in the leftovers of the grinder.
And if you forget about the keef catch it’s a fun treat when you’re our to top of the scrape.
Once, years ago when weed wasn’t legal here, my dealer had so much keef he was selling it by the gram.
Holy shit that was good bang for my buck.
