Keif

Every time you use your grinder to break apart your buds, you cause some of the THC crystals to fall off. These concentrated THC-loaded trichromes accumulate to form a green powder-like substance that can be gathered for enjoyment. In fact, many grinders have a separate chamber for keef gathering that is located below the main chamber for catching the nugs you grind (it's called a keefbox). Keef has a much higher concentration of cannabinoids than the bud that it falls off of. And for that reason, people like to pay close attention not to let it get away from them.

The word keef also may also be used in the following manners:

As a verb to refer to the act of removing keef from weed buds;
As a verb to refer to adding keef to some bud that you are going to smoke to increase its potency;
As a noun to refer to bud that has had keef added to it;

Have fun exploring the tasty and healing world of concentrated medicinal marijuana keef. Toking your favorite cannabis strain will be ever so much more enjoyable!

keef or keif is very harsh, you will have a sore throat the next day, hash is great but keef is harsh and doesn't seem to do much. it always looks good so I smoke it anyway.

Keef (or keif or kif, however you want to say it) usually gives me and extremely intense but short-lived high. Another thing I like to do with keef is make what's known as keef hash. It is an extremely simple process that I like to use for when I take my keef with me and don't have a scoop to layer it on a bowl or in a blunt or joint. Here's the process:
Dump some keef in a rolling paper (it doesn't have to be much at all or it can be a full joint worth). Roll it up, keeping it as tight as possible the entire time. You don't have to seal it shut but it helps. Next, QUICKLY pass the joint through the flame from a lighter or match. Again, do this extremely quickly, as the paper will catch easier than you think. You will almost see the paper constricting around the keef inside. Last, just slit the paper open and you should have a long "joint-shaped" log of keef hash.

I do prefer hash over keef, but when you have a keef blend that is all the bud that you have grinded up, theres definatly nothing that can beat that. Sprinkle over bud, gets ya that much higher.

Jewryan | Jan 31, 2011

keef or kief is a dank way to take your medicine. just sprinkle some on top of your bowl and off you go to a whole new high. the high from keef is a heavy heavy head high that lasts for a good hour and a half if not longer. it can be a little harsh but obviously just like bud the better the bud the keef came from the better smother the keef will be. this is something if you havent done before because once you smoke it theres no fast some down you just have to ride the heavy wave but youll be ok just enjoy. so next time you go to your favorite dispencery ask what kind of keef they have a grab a gram and try it out.

I love ending my nights with kief bowls, as it tends to knock me out. Kief added to any bowl is a perfect painkiller as well. The best part about kief is that it is produced from bud, so if you use a grinder that has a kief-catcher, chances are you can build up a steady amount of kief.

Keef is an extremely vexing concentrate that is phenomenal for free, but not all that worth buying. It's potency level can really vary depending on where you find it and is much more harsh than your regular type of hashes. It also has much more of a hallow taste compared to hash's unbelievably rich flavor. Keef is also very tough to contain since it's so powdery and can get very frustrating when trying to transfer onto medication. It's a nice little treat if you have a pollen catcher on your grinder and feel like spicing up you're medication. Otherwise, I'd go with hash if you're looking for some high potency meds.

Keef is a great addition to top a bowl with. You barely have to hold a lighter up to it and it will begin to vaporize. I like to mix it with broken up herb for rolling joints. I call them Joints+ since they definitely pack a little more wallop. I have had certain types of hash that are more like Keef, having a little more vegi matter in them, almost like a compressed powder. We've smoked strait bowls of it and it is pretty harsh but will knock your socks off.

nix | Feb 21, 2011

I use keef over bowls of bud that are not very potent. I find that depending on what strain you get, a little keef can go a long way.. and if it's good keef it's very potent and effective... i usually only use it at night when i'm getting ready for bed, cuz if i used it during the day I'd never get anything done lol

Kingkhavi | Feb 28, 2011

I honestly am a very big fan of Keef.
Keef gets me extremely loaded by
itself or sprinkled on some bud. I save all my
Keef in my grinder and just let it stock up.

Ha-Y-N Boi In CO | Mar 3, 2011

keef is awesome in my books lol...i grind up bud daily and stack my keef for about a month and i sprinkle it on some good bud, it makes it THAT much better lolz

818king | Mar 5, 2011

keif is awesome i dont put it in my bowls usually but its perfect when u have some low grade weed and want to roll a blunt put some kief and its a top shelf blunt for sure!

stratash1030 | Mar 7, 2011

Keif is one of my favorite smokeables, you can mix it into a joint, blunt, bowl, etc. it also gives you an immediate high! you can use it to enhance less potent weed.

HolyKush | Mar 9, 2011

Keef is so harsh if its not done right. I have had some that seems to be smoother than others. Most of the time I really try to avoid it. It does usually cause me more throat irritation than I would like to have.

Rastamanhae | Mar 10, 2011

Kief is actually something easy to make if you have time on your hands. All you need is some kind of mixing/strainer and some dank buds with lots of trichromes.

I just purchased some keif from Harborside Health Center in oakland.
It was 10 dollars for a small box of it. I just sprinkled some on top of a bowl and lit up.
It made the smoke taste different but it wasnt a bad taste.
Keef is pretty powerful :)

lindzzz | Mar 13, 2011

Keif is great because it is easy to control the amount you use, and anyone can make it. Unlike some pressed hashes or hash oils, keif can be sprinkled over your bowl, put into a joint or a vaporizer without a lot of mess. It is also the easiest concentrate to make by yourself, because anyone with a grinder that has a keif-catching chamber can collect it. I usually grind all of my medicine so that I can still harvest and use the keif. I like to use kief in cooking because it counters the taste of the butter or oils, which can taste kind of funky in some recipes. Besides adding that oh-so-good flavor, it adds potency which is always good for people who medicate often. I usually use 2 or 3 grams of keif for one batch of cookies, in addition to the cannabutter.

Green Gardner | Mar 13, 2011

I've been using Keef for making different cookies, sauces and treats. I like to use it because you can control the potency and it blends well. I have also used it with some other meds to fatten up a blunt or two. It serves a useful purpose.

Andy J | Mar 18, 2011

I have a friend who makes keif boxes and grinders, so there is always an abundance of kief around my neighborhood. This is great stuff, it can increase the potency of any buds, and can be applied to almost anything. Put it on a bowl, in a joint, or even throw some into your hot chocolate for a little kick. Kief usually tastes great, kinda like the leftover casserole of every strain you ever ground up. I would recommend getting a keif box for your buds to anybody.

Marijuanamama | Mar 19, 2011

We save this for when the purchase of more potent buds is out of our price range and then we can add to the effect. Just a sprinkle will do, it really helps for me even those that aren't real kickers. Keep the keif, that's the motto.

CannabisGril | Mar 21, 2011

Never tried it but now I have something I will be watching out for

smokestack | Mar 25, 2011

I think every smoker should have a 4pc grinder w Keef catch. Every time u pack a bowl u leave a little keef for later. Great to have when u run out of bud but still need a pick me up. Although when u go through lots of bud, u end up wit way more keef then u know what to do with.

Lauren | Apr 1, 2011

keef is great, I use it in my brownies & it makes them that much more potent. Black OG is my favorite! :) And a keef catcher feature in a grinder is a must have!!

Kushie Q | May 6, 2011

This is a really funny thing to me, for years I saw everyone wipe the so called keef away as something that had no value. But all it took was one time of sprinkling this sweet treat on a so so joint and wow was I happy. Definitely two thumbs up.

sbsdewb | May 10, 2011

Just began using this, Never used before where I am from. But it is an awesome additive to a regular joint for a total kick ass effect. This is a definite winner.

Heman31 | May 23, 2011

Guest | Aug 25, 2011

so easy, it's crazy just buy a grinder

Spacy | Feb 3, 2012

I agree It may not be one of the longest lasting highs, but it's very intense. I love a good kief pack. I've recently begun pressing my kief between cellophane to make kief bars.

Guest | May 22, 2012

i cant believe you guys have never put your grinder in the freezer.. just put your bud in the top of it, stick it in the freezer for 15 minutes, then grind it. you get a mountain of keef everytime

keef 101

1. Do not spoil your keef with low grade bud.

2. Do not rush your keef

3. Pack a half a bowl of bud, add keep, top with bud.

also, you can put a lot of it in a spoon and hold a lighter under it. Do it until it all looks melted and then stop. 30 seconds usually. Have something nearby to scrape what is on the spoon off. Use what you have just made to top a bowl. (do not smoke by self in a bowl. it is STICKY). some say you lose potency this way (i do not notice a loss in high). The benefit of this method is that you can smoke it for a looooong time and it will get you high eveytime
