Do you grind your weed before packing a bowl?

I've noticed that most people I know will just pack some nugs in the bowl (no stems or anything, but they don't grind it up). I always grind the weed, either manually or with a grinder, into as fine a powder as possible as I feel it conserves more. I don't know if this is really true or not.
Thoughts?
 
I Always grind the weed up before I smoke it in any way. Pipe joint bong whatever it should be ground.

I Don't understand when people just slam a whole nug in, it won't burn evenly and half the inside will still be green when your done...
 
I need to grind lol. I hate smoking any weed without grinding it. I may be spoiled though, the day after I started smoking weed six years ago I bought myself a grinder lol. Since then ive had two, and im content with the five piece kanastor I have now.

Besides that, KEEEIIIF!
 
I don't know anyone who won't at least use their fingers.

I'm a fan of the $12 electric coffee grinder. 3 shakes and it's ground, 6 shakes and it's a fine green dust. And it's yet to break, unlike the $30+ hand grinders everyone I know uses.
 
I usually finger bust but when it comes to bong rips if your trying to get a FAT HIT then grinding allways helped cuz itll burn faster and fill quicker so your can get those monster rips... and get a multi chamber for that sweet sweet KIEF!!!
 
I always grind it, except with blunts because then it gets too fine but I at least tear it up with my fingers or scissors. Not busting or grinding it up is just wasteful and won't burn well.
 
well, for me it depends, if i am in a huge rush to smoke weed or in a not really decent spot to do it, or like walking, i just put the nug in it and lite it up ! but when its a nice spot, i got the time, i finger bust it pretty, cauz i dont have a grinder, and with bong tokes, always figner bust the shit. i dont know why you guys say that not grinding it its a waste ? i smoke it till its all gone!
 
I used to just smoke a nugget, but it's definitely better to break it up or grind it. It burns much better and you get the most out of it, to be honest.
 
for a bowl or bong, i hand pick it. Grinding it up makes it scortch up so fast, I hate that shit.

For a blunt (I don't smoke joints, ever really) it goes straight into the grinder. Blunts are my ROA, plus I love the delicious kief a grinder makes.
 
no matter what way im smoking it its pieced apart with my fingers or grinded to make a nice pile of shake
 
I don't grind mine, I don't like wasting any weed as some of it gets pulled into the water. I'll give grinding a try sometime ...
I smoke stuff my friends have grinded, and I don't feel it is necessarily.
 
I'd say it depends on the quality of the weed. Or-even among the dankest strains-the strain itself (how it looks/feels-texture,etc). Further-the type of pipe, filter or no filter... and if you USE kief or make hash etc. If you only smoke the weed nugs (stem and shit free of course) I really don't think a grinder is NEEDED assuming you break it up alright with your fingers.
Regarding burn quality/conservation-if you torch it with a lighter unnecessarily, then yes you will waste more (not using a grinder than if using). Overall or in sum, grinding is never a bad idea. However if you have nicely textured herb and good technique-no biggie. Unless you're keen on saving what COULD be resting/waiting for you in the tray... mmm.
 
If it's in my one-hitter (which has no screen), I don't bother grinding it, I just pull off a bit of bud and jam it in there to minimise how much ash gets in my mouth.
 
I usually don't grind it unless I am rolling a whole joint or something.
Usually I am just packing a bowl so I tear it apart with my fingers.
But yeah, throwing a whole nug in is stupid.
Especially if it's reg with seeds and stems in it, no one want to smoke that shit.
