<h2 id="0">Ways To Grind Weed Without A Grinder</h2>
<p>If you&rsquo;re trying to get your <a href="https://weedzly.com/library/9-alternative-ways-to-smoke-weed-without-a-pipe-or-papers" target="_blank" rel="noopener">smoke</a> on but don&rsquo;t have a grinder, the kitchen is the first place to look for items you can use in lieu.</p>
<h3 id="1">Cheese Grater</h3>
<p>This process may take more time and effort than others on the list, but it&rsquo;s still effective. Be sure your cheese grater is clean and dry, then place a container below it, such as a plate or bowl. Then you simply start grating but take care not to cut your fingers and check your grater&rsquo;s teeth for leftover buds when you&rsquo;re finished.</p>
<h3 id="2">Coffee Grinder</h3>
<p>Using a coffee grinder is one of the best ways to grind weed without a grinder. Before you begin, check that your device is clean and free from residual coffee grounds. Also, don&rsquo;t pack the weed into the grinder too tightly, or you may damage the grinder.</p>
<h3 id="3">A Coin and Pill Bottle</h3>
<p>Do you have any empty film canisters or pill bottles lying somewhere? If so, find a small coin such as a dime or penny, and voila - you&rsquo;ve made your own weed grinder! It works by placing your cannabis and the coin in the bottle with the cap on. As you shake the container, the coin will break the weed up. It&rsquo;s worth mentioning that this method can make a good deal of noise, so if you&rsquo;re trying to stay discreet, use caution. Also, if you have weed that&rsquo;s super resinous or still wet, this method may not work that well.</p>
<h3 id="4">Mortar &amp; Pestle</h3>
<p>This may be a less common find in your kitchen, but you can grab for the timeless mortar and pestle if available. Check that your mortar and pestle are clean and get to work - just don&rsquo;t grind too hard! If you go with this method, it&rsquo;s a good idea to allow your bud to sit in the open for a couple of hours to dry out, as this will help it grind easier.</p>

<h3 id="5">A Shot Glass and Scissors</h3>
<p>This process requires a pair of scissors and a clean, dry shot glass. All you do is grab a nug and place it in the shot glass. Then, take your scissors and begin cutting the weed up inside the glass. It&rsquo;s recommended to keep your hand over the top so that pieces don&rsquo;t fly out. Other than that, keep cutting until you reach your desired size.</p>
<h3 id="6">A Knife and Cutting Board</h3>
<p>While using a knife and cutting board when you need to grind weed without a grinder may require more work than other methods, it&rsquo;s still very effective. If you find yourself at a loss, using these two kitchen utensils is perfect in a pinch!</p>

<h3 id="7">Your Hands</h3>
<p>In the end, if you find yourself needing to grind weed without a <a href="https://weedzly.com/brands/cannabist/products/plastic-grinder?fromSearch=true" target="_blank" rel="noopener">grinder</a>, you can always use your fingers. We saved this as a last resort option because it&rsquo;s not generally recommended as it leaves your fingers sticky, and the pieces of weed are hard to get uniform by hand.</p>
