Put your cannabis into the chamber, close the box and shake. As you shake the flower, the trichomes fall off, get sifted through the mesh screen, and end up in the kief side of the box. Sprinkling a generous dusting of kief on the top of a packed bowl, joint, or blunt can dramatically increase the potency, making for a more intense and longer-lasting high. Adding kief will also cause the cannabis to burn slower, extending the time it takes to smoke — perfect if you enjoy long smoke sessions with friends.
If you're a fan of smoking shisha out of a hookah, you can sprinkle it on top of the tobacco before adding the hot coals. You can use kief to whip up a homemade batch of cannabutter and turn that into cakes, brownies, salad dressings, etc. When using kief in your favorite edibles, remember that it's not decarboxylated yet so make sure to expose it to enough heat long enough to activate the THC or you may be disappointed.
That being said, kief is concentrated trichomes so a little will go a long way. Kief can also be used to make what are known as moon rocks. To create moon rocks , high-quality cannabis flowers are covered in hot oil and sprinkled with kief.
Once the rocks harden, they can be broken up don't use a grinder and smoked, delivering a very potent high. Some people also use the term cannabis caviar but, technically, that's nugs dipped in concentrate, minus the final dusting of kief. Heat activates cannabinoids, so if you add kief to hot beverages such as coffee or tea, it can produce similar effects as edibles.
Corner your hits to get the most out of a kief-crowned bowl, corner your hits, which entails burning a quadrant of the bowl at a time so that you can enjoy multiple hits.
Freshly ground cannabis is just sticky enough to make rolling a joint fairly easy. Pepper your ground cannabis with a healthy pinch of kief and mix well.
The extra trichomes should more or less stick to the ground leaves, adding potency to the interior of your joint. Hash is one of the oldest forms of refined cannabis. One of the first steps of making hash is extracting kief, as hash is basically just kief that has been heated and pressurized to form a soft, green ball.
Applying heat and pressure to kief changes its composition by rupturing the resin glands. Once the kief ruptured, the overall taste and effects of the product are slightly different.
Pressurizing kief also darkens its color; the more pressure you apply, the darker the hash becomes. Moonrocks are top-quality nugs covered in oil and rolled in kief. These glorious glitter cannabis specimens are very high potency and can be considered a quick DIY concentrate.
Moonrocks are relatively easy to make if you have the materials. Gently heat your oil of choice and liberally coat your buds. Sprinkle kief over still-warm buds, or dredge buds in a kief bath using tongs. Let harden, then enjoy them by breaking them up by hand and sprinkling them into your bowl avoid using a grinder if possible, as a grinder will break them up too finely and defeat the purpose of creating your lovely moonrock. It's as easily accessible as the rest of the plant matter and has carved a prominent place in cannabis culture.
You'll have to collect kief for a while before you get enough to roll a joint. It also takes a decent bit to fill a bong, pipe, or dry-herb vaporizer.
Out of all the methods, vaporizing is the most potent and safe option. It preserves more cannabinoids than any other way. Vaping also doesn't rely on combustion, making it smoother and safer on your throat, mouth, and lungs. However, vaping complicates things. If you're going to vape pure kief in a standard dry herb-vaporizer, make sure you clean it thoroughly.
Vaped kief can burn onto the heating element and leave charred residue behind. Some vaporizers offer cannabis concentrate add-ons, which are a better fit for dry sift. When vaping or smoking, it's best to put the kief between two layers of flower, like some earthy kief sandwich. It also makes the bowl less dense, for an easier draw.
Melt some butter in a saucepan or crockpot, add the kief, and occasionally stir for up to five hours. The longer you wait, the more compounds get infused into your butter. If you want to kill two birds with one stone, save the kief in your vaped chamber and use that for edibles. It's already decarbed but won't be as potent. If you're not lucky enough to have professional equipment, a simple hair straightener will do. Take a thin layer of kief and spread it on a piece of parchment paper. Fold the paper over your kief, then apply the heated hair straightener to the powder for five to ten seconds to make hash.
If you want to take things up a notch, try making bubble hash. This highly-potent concentrate gets its name from the way it bubbles when ignited. The separation process is similar to regular hash, as it still involves collecting kief through a series of dry sieves. As it turns out, there are far more uses of kief other than just smoking it.
Here are 7 things you probably never knew about this ancient concentrate. Kief provides a powerful high. Kief is made from the trichomes of the plant. Trichomes contain the highest concentrations of cannabinoids. Which is why kief is a great option if you want to medicate quickly and require a strong dose. Because kief is so concentrated, it provides a rapid dose of cannabinoids and terpenes. In fact, purer kief is lighter in color. When kief is cleaned properly, it produces an off-white color.
Kief that is extracted correctly separates the trichome crystals from the plant matter, leaving only the purest and most potent parts of the plant behind. For coffee fans , kief can easily be added to a cup of Joe. Now, for first-timers, the idea may sound pretty far out. Drinking kief is similar to eating an infused edible. Keep in mind it only takes a small amount of kief 1mg for 6oz to create a potent drink.
