Kief, also known as dry sift or pollen, is a concentrated mass of trichomes that have been separated from the cannabis plant. It is typically collected by sifting the trichomes through a screen or by using a machine called a kief tumbler. Kief has a higher concentration of THC, the psychoactive compound in cannabis, than the buds or leaves of the plant, so it is often used to make edibles, hash, or other concentrates. Kief is typically more potent than regular weed flowers because it is made up of a higher concentration of cannabinoids. It is also typically easier to store and transport than flowers because it is a more compact form of the plant.
You can typically buy Kief from different cannabis brands in the market today but if you are not looking to spend that extra amount you could also make it at home using the same ingredients that you generally use to smoke a joint or a blunt. That’s right, all you need to make kief is good trichome rich weed buds and a grinder.
Here is a simple way to make kief at home:
It's important to note that kief can be quite potent, so it's best to use it in small amounts and to be mindful of your dosage.
Simply sprinkle a small amount of kief on top of your bowl of marijuana before lighting it. This will increase the potency of your smoke and give you a stronger high.
Many grinders have a special compartment for collecting kief, which you can then sprinkle on top of your marijuana or use to make other infused products.
