You can add kief to your bong or mix it into your blunt or joint with your regular cannabis flower . It ’ s common now for people to make a “ twaxed joint ” by moistening the outside of the joint with cannabis wax or by licking it and then adding kief for an extra kick . You can also make cannabutter or oil with kief and then use it for cooking edibles .
Heavenly Hash
Hash is another excellent example of the versatility of kief . Hash ( short for hashish ) is made by heating and pressurizing kief , turning it from a powder into a malleable solid . This new substance can then be pressed into a small brick shape and crumbled into a joint , bowl , bong , or pipe . It is possible to put hash in your dab rig , however , remember not all hash is equal in this respect . The quality of the kief will dictate how well it will melt . The purer the quality , the better it melts . As a general rule of thumb , the greener
Full melt hash ( Chemberrly ). your kief is the less pure it is . Green kief indicates there is an excess of plant material present and thus the kief has not been very well processed . When kief is cleaned and processed thoroughly , it should ideally be an off-white or light tan color . The potent trichomes are separated from all the other plant material and collected together , forming a whitish / beige powder . You can even use kief to make rosin . Rosin is an extraction process that exposes your trichomes to excessive heat and pressure , forcing the maximum amount of terpenes and cannabinoids ( in the form of a resinous sap ) out of the trichome glands .

be simpler than adding a kief shot to your daily hot drink of choice . The high temperature of your drink should activate the THC to some degree without much effort .
