Why I save my stems (and why you should, too!)

The effects from the kief collected from the stems is the same as kief collected from the buds. I'm not advising anyone to smoke the stems themselves, as I'm sure it would taste horrible. I am talking about sieving the kief off the stems and smoking that.

Well I too am giving this a shot... I took 10 grams of stems and put them in the freezer... its been about 45 minutes... gonna wait another 40 or so and then try sieving the kief off.... if there is any..

sorry if i missed something, but you could use this to make your own hash with what you have there, right?
Of course, hash is simply pressed kiefed.

Prepare to be surprised at how much you get.

So dude, maybe I'm daft but I just wanna get this right, I have that almost the same grinder, mine only has two chambers, yours looks like it may be 3?
so did you stick the stems in the bottom part, I see you chopped em first eh,
how many coins did you put in?
Thanks man sorry for all the questions!
Here we go. Only did about an eighth of stems and got about 0.5g of some SUPER bomb kief.

This never worked for me... I am disappointed.

I have lots of stem... but how do you get kief from them when even if you look at them up close there is no crystals?
I put a bunch of chopped stems in the top part of my grinder with two coins and shook.... and shook... and got... NOTHING.

oh well... maybe it's just my grinder but who knows.

Awesome thread! We should always strive to use our sacred herb like the Native Americans used the buffalo, using every last part of it. Next thing someone will find out a way to utilize the roots to get stoned. I love rollitup.org. +rep!

I did it correctly, believe me.
I don't think this works to be honest..... look at your stems with a loupe.... there ain't even any crystals..... at least on my stems.... and I got LOTS.

Who knows, could just be my crystal catcher in my grinder.

Well I think it is important to put the stems in the freezer for a bit, and I can tell my stems got some kief on them, plus when I was a real broke kid I would smoke stems if I was desperate and they still get you high, so I'm just saying there is THC in stems, so I would expect there to be kief as well
