FAQs
Which weed grinder is best?
The best herb grinders depend on your needs. Metal grinders last longer and are ideal for frequent use. Acrylic options are lightweight and portable. Multi-chamber grinders with kief catchers collect potent particles for later use.
Should I buy a metal, acrylic or ceramic grinder?
- Metal: Durable, long-lasting, great for frequent use.
- Acrylic: Lightweight, affordable, portable.
- Ceramic: Smooth grind, more fragile, often for specialty use.
Are weed grinders legal in the UK?
Yes, grinders are legal in the UK. Cannabis grinders and other herb grinders are considered legal accessories as long as they’re intended for legal herbs. While the laws around cannabis can be a bit strict, owning a grinder itself doesn’t break any rules. So, if you’re using your grinder for herbs or spices, you’re in the clear.
Just be aware that carrying a grinder with cannabis residue in it may be treated differently by authorities, depending on context. It’s always best to keep your weed grinder clean and used solely for its legal intended purpose.
How much should I spend on a grinder?
Basic acrylic two-piece grinders cost around £5–£10. Metal or multi-chamber cannabis grinders range from £20–£50 or more. Choose based on how often you use it and the features you want.
Ultimately, your ideal spend depends on how often you plan to use it and whether you value portability or premium materials.
What should I look for in a weed grinder?
Two-piece grinders are simple and fast but only grind. Multi-chamber grinders separate ground herb and kief, offering more control and storage.
Weed grinders that feature magnetic lids, ergonomic grips, or textured exteriors can improve usability. Some even include windows so you can see how much you’ve ground without opening the device.
Whether you’re using it daily or just occasionally, choosing a quality weed grinder ensures you get an even, hassle-free grind every time.
How to clean a herb grinder?
Disassemble your grinder, remove loose particles, and soak metal parts in isopropyl alcohol. Rinse and dry thoroughly. Acrylic grinders can usually be cleaned with warm water and a soft brush.
