5 Uses for Your Kief Stash

Cannabis comes in many different forms. It can be hard to keep track of them all. One of the most exciting products is kief, a finely refined cannabis concentrate that comes as a powder

Kief can be expensive, but it’s worth the cost. Kief has a higher concentration of THC than other forms of cannabis.

Since THC is the part of the plant that will get you high, the side effects can be potent. If you have some kief but don’t know what to do with it, here are some ideas.

Edibles

If you haven’t ever made edibles, it’s probably best to start with regular dried cannabis before adding kief. Otherwise, the product will be too strong.

For best results, mix kief with a small amount of dried cannabis. You’ll get the best of both worlds.

Kief comes in a very fine powder, meaning it is easy to add to recipes. If you’ve never used any before,check out this article. It explains why kief is different from other cannabis products and how you can use it.

One of the most popular edibles with kief is cannabutter. Kief is ideal for cannabutter because of the fineness of the powder.

Butter is such a versatile product, so you can put cannabutter on just about anything! If you’re vegan, you can easily alter the recipe for margarine or another dairy-free alternative.

Smoking It

Smoking is probably the first idea that pops into everyone’s head when they think of kief. There’s no reason why it shouldn’t!

Smoking kief is not a good idea for newbies to cannabis. You also shouldn’t smoke it on its own. The THC content can be up to 70%.

Since kief is so expensive, you probably won’t be smoking it on its own anyway.

To smoke kief, simply sprinkle a dash on top of your cannabis flower. Another popular way is to cover a joint with a sticky cannabis concentrate and then roll it in kief.

Making Hash

Short for hashish, hash is another popular cannabis concentrate. It is convenient because it is easy to store and transport.

Kief is expensive and difficult to store properly, so it is often processed into hash. Hash is easier to consume and you’re less likely to damage the product.

Hash can be consumed orally. In other words, it can be eaten on its own. More commonly, hash is consumed by smoking.

Hash can be smoked in a pipe, bong, joint, or vaporizer. People love to get creative with hash, and there are lots of ways you can use kief to make a good hash.

Vape Juice

Vaping is a popular option for those who don’t like to smoke. It’s convenient, easy to store, and it usually doesn’t have as strong of a smell.

If you’re worried about your lungs, vaping is a good alternative to smoking. Vape pens are easy to conceal and not difficult to transport.

Here is an overview of different types of vape juices. There are lots of vape juices that have nothing to do with cannabis.

If you want to take things easy, simply mix a small amount of the kief with your favorite vape juice. There are lots of flavors out there, so there’s something for everybody.

Drink It

This might seem like a crazy idea, but you can drink kief. It’s super easy. Kief dissolves in hot liquids, so there is no need to bake it first.

Nothing bad will happen from baking the kief, so you can try that if you want. Some people prefer the flavor of baked kief, whereas others like the raw, natural flavor.

About one milligram per six ounces of liquid should be enough. You can mix it with your coffee, tea, or just warm water.

The liquid needs to be hot for the compounds in the kief to activate. If you want an iced tea, brew the tea first with the kief in it and then chill the tea.

Keep in mind that adding ice will water down the product, but this can be handy if you find it’s too strong. 

Conclusion

Kief can get expensive, but it’s extremely versatile and definitely worth the investment. These are only a few of the many ways for you to use kief.
