Kief
Kief, also referred to as dust or dry sift, refers to the loose trichomes that fall off dried medical cannabis flowers, often when they are ground up. This powdery, dust-like substance can be a green or brown colour
I have a build up of kief in my medical cannabis grinder. What should I do with it?
Kief is made up of trichomes, which is where the majority of the cannabinoids are produced. This means that kief alone can be much more potent than your prescribed medical cannabis flower. You must be very careful when using kief and adjust your dosage accordingly.
How do I use kief?
Kief can be vaporised just like dried medical cannabis flower.
