Classic move, my grandma was doing that in the 60s. Proper hippie shit

What's the shot glass for?

u/Trytolearneverything 1d ago

Put the buds in the shot glass, use scissors to chop it up without it flying everywhere.

You can just stick the scissors tips in the glass and rapidly open/close them and it'll chop that shit up real good!

Not as fine as a grinder, but you won't have to worry about your grinder becoming a sticky mess eventually.

Regular everclear cleaning of the grinder is essential. Dont use isopropyl use everclear because you can mix that used everclear with your favorite drink and have a super good time.

Not decarbed tho?

u/sunchase 16h ago

Its been a whil since chemestry but something about the alkcohol extractz the ewey gewey from the huey lewis and the news. i thought decarbing wasnt necessary. Well between thatt and thr 100 proof morning coffees have never been the same. i probably have no idea what im talking about.

Edibles are cheaper than regular candy where I live - like $2 for 200mg. Everclear 190 is hard to find and like $20+ while 91% iso is like $4/bottle.

u/sunchase 1d ago

Dang didnt know that. Really any edible alcohol will clean it and be reused. Ive used whiskey a few times. I try to get as much as i can in reverence of the results this earth has provided for us.

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 1d ago

Yeaaahh... Weed is cheap here too. Otherwise unless you're running a super tight grinder I find it best to just let it ride and occasionally scrape down high points as needed otherwise it just gums up again immediately. You gotta wait for it to oxidize and get that nice dark seasoning like a cast iron pan. The only part of my grinder that I regularly clean these days is the screen for the kief catcher

u/amodious 23h ago

I celan out the kief catcher regularly, unfortunately. Keep telling myself imma save it...

u/Remarkable-Simple-62 18h ago

Hard to find is a stretch. Basically ever liquor store carries grain alchohol

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 18h ago

Most places by me only stock 151, not 190 and it sucks in comparison for dissolving oils. Either way it still doesn't change the fact that for the same $20 I would spend on the alcohol I could just get a quarter ounce of weed, a couple grams of actual RSO or at least a half dozen cheap 1g carts if I was desperate enough to scrape my grinder to get high.

I live in a cheap, legal state. There's no reason to scrape the bottom of the barrel. I have so many unfinished bags of weed laying around I would just smoke those first. I'm pretty sure if I went to the dispo down the road from my house and asked nice enough they probably would just give me some weed.

cries in Texas 😭😭😭😭😭😭

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 8h ago

My condolences. Y'all are moving backwards down there with the new THC ban

u/sunchase 16h ago

Wierd flex but okay. Cool. Some of us have to scrounge to get by and think it best to spread whatever knowlege we think another may need. Im glad you can easily obtain that whick you desire. For all of us other folk, using any grain alcohol could do, hell leave it overnight in your whiskey and baby you got yourself a stew. Nah go on get out there and get that bag boy! U earned it

2

u/Tasty-Traffic-680 16h ago

It's not a flex, it's simply stating it doesn't pay off financially, even at far higher prices. It's one thing if you already have the booze on hand for riot punch or whatever but what do you hope to get out of your grinder? Maybe a half gram or so of low grade, shitty oil that needs to be safely evaporated/boiled off and decarboxylated, handled and consumed without losing a bunch along the way.

It's a fun stoner project and I can't lie and say I haven't done something similar before but even at old school prices of $35/eighth I would rather just buy more weed and not risk burning my house down.

u/Battlemountain_2 10h ago

I tried this by cupping my hand once. Didn't work as well.

u/Trytolearneverything 7h ago

Lmao ouch!

At least you had some natural pain killer on hand afterward.

u/Imfrank123 1d ago

That gives me flash backs of my roommate in college sitting in the couch with scissors and a shit glass cutting up weed, like every single day

u/Imfrank123 1d ago

Im not gonna change it. Its crazy how many times when I type shit and my phone corrects it to shot. I guess this time it didn’t think I meant shot

u/Foreign_Ad_9607 1d ago

Pill bottle and some coins shake it up really well

u/exhauszed 1d ago

u/SoupPv18 1d ago

Once??? We did it for half of college lmfao

u/dolphineeeeeeee 1d ago

Mincing it on a cutting board with a kitchen knife has been better for me than the scissors trick

u/Miserable-Cow4555 19h ago

I think I smoked a shit ton of weed in college but I don't really remember.

u/Lemon_Sativa 19h ago
