Kief

Kief, also known as keef or kif, refers to the accumulation of trichomes, which are the crystalline structures that coat the exterior of the cannabis flowers. These trichomes contain high concentrations of cannabinoids and terpenes, which are responsible for the psychoactive and therapeutic effects of cannabis. Kief is typically collected by sifting cannabis flowers over a mesh screen or by using a three-chamber herb grinder. The result is a fine, powdery substance that ranges in color from light green to golden yellow. Due to its potency, kief can be used in various ways, including being sprinkled over ground cannabis in a joint to enhance its effects, pressed into hashish, or used to infuse edibles and concentrates. It is highly valued for its versatility and concentration of active compounds, making it a popular choice for both recreational and medicinal users seeking a more intense experience or relief from various conditions.
