Hope you are well. I was wondering what your opinion was on grinding weed for bong and pipe use? \u2014 Diana Bong<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Hello! Although I love to use my hands when I crumble up the dank, grinders are <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/how-to-conserve-your-stash-10-steps-to-save-money\/\">fun and way easier<\/a> than using your hands. The cheap plastic ones are good for your stoner utility belt \u2014 err, travel bag, but the metal ones are way easier to use and clean. Some fancy <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=grinder\">grinders <\/a>even have <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/?s=kief\">kief<\/a> catchers so you can collect those tasty trichomes that otherwise would end up stuck to your fingers.<\/p>\n<p>One more thing: If your pipe doesn\u2019t have a screen, maybe just stick in a decent sized nug or use a coarser grind so you don\u2019t inhale any flaming embers. Flaming embers in the back of the throat can ruin a good session. And no need to incinerate the whole bowl at once. Wave your lighter over a corner of the bowl while you gently inhale. That way you save a greener, tastier hit for the person going next. Have fun, and happy grinding!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dear Dabby,<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>I just started dating a guy and he doesn\u2019t know that I smoke yet. I blaze <em>hella<\/em> trees, what\u2019s the best way to let him know? \u2014 Secret Lover <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Just be honest. There\u2019s no need to beat around the <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/og-kush-a-phenotype-by-any-other-name-would-smell-as-sweet\/\">kush<\/a>. Unless you are dating a cop or a prohibitionist, weed is really not a big deal these days. Some folks drink, some folks smoke weed. Some like to do both. Some do neither.<\/p>\n<p>I think new couples need to have a drug talk just like they need to have a sex and monogamy talk. Clear communication of boundaries and expectations are important for all facets of a romantic relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Next time he comes over, tell him you just got some good sh*t, and ask him if he wants a hit. If he freaks out and says he would never date a pothead, he is clearly not the one for you and y\u2019all can still be friends.<\/p>\n<p>If he says \u201cyes,\u201d get him high and boink his brains out.<\/p>\n<p>If he says \u201cNo thank you, but I don\u2019t mind if you do,\u201d you should still get high and boink his brains out. That way, he\u2019ll equate you being stoned with really good sex, and everyone will be happy forever.<\/p>\n<p><em>Originally published in <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/issue-25\/\">Issue 25<\/a> of Cannabis Now. <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/print-digital-magazine\"><strong>LEARN MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>TELL US, <\/strong>do you smoke with your partner?<\/p>\n<p>The post <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/dear-dabby-grinding-loving-smoking\/\">Dear Dabby: Grinding, Loving &amp; Smoking<\/a> appeared first on <a rel=\"nofollow\" href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\">Cannabis Now<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nRead More: <a href=\"https:\/\/cannabisnow.com\/dear-dabby-grinding-loving-smoking\/\" target=\"_blank\">Dear Dabby: Grinding, Loving &amp; Smoking<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Accomplished comedian and cannabis activist, Ngaio Bealum, offers advice on the ideal methods for grinding and getting down.
