Got Kiff? All about Kiff Pellets.

Medicinal Marijuana View comments

Many people familiar with marijuana have asked about Kiff Pellets.  They want to know what they are and how they are different from traditional Hashish.

Marijuana Trichomes

Kiff is essentially a highly concentrated form of marijuana consisting of loose, dried resin glands or trichomes from the cannabis plant.  Kiff is also referred to as Kif, Kef, Keef, Jeef , Keethan or kief.   Kiff is usually made by breaking trichomes off the buds, leafs, or stems of the marijuana plant through the use of a grinder or a kiefing screen. 

 marijuana kief trichomes

The word Kiff, is derived from the Arabic word, Kiff, which means “mood”.   Kiff, like hashish contains a higher concentration of desired psychoactive ingredients than the ordinary marijuana buds from which it is derived.

non compressed marijuana kief

Kiff pellets are made by breaking off loose trichomes from collections of crushed dried buds.  Trichomes are small hair particles that grow off of the buds, stems, and leaves of the marijuana plant.  When these trichomes are broken off of the plant they form a fine gold colored powder.  One way to collect the trichomes is to rub a marijuana bud against a fine screen.  This causes the trichomes to break off from the bud.  These trichomes have a much higher potency than the rest of the marijuana bud.

They make kief-boxes, kief-catchers, or shaker boxes which are specially designed containers with screens in the bottom used to make kiff powder.  Cannabis buds can be stored in these containers and over time the Kiff powder will accumulate in a small compartment beneath the screen on the bottom of the box where it can be collected for later use.

Kiff powder can be rolled into joints or smoked in pipes.  Kiff powder can be smoked alone or it can be mixed with marijuana buds and tobacco.  It can also be pressed into pellets.  These compressed pellets have an extremely high content of THC.

So what’s the difference between Kiff and Hash anyway? Which is more potent?

Hash is definitely more potent because it has a high concentration of resin where Kiff is nothing more then pressed trichomes.

hey, so which has the least amount of smell and is the hardest to detect during shipment? kief or hash?

I would definitely say that hash has less smell than kief because it’s oily and the oil keeps the smell in whereas kief is just dried condensed marijuana which has a great tendency to stink!

Has anyone heard of stripping trichomes while leaving the bud intact in order to resell a worthless bud? Yes this is Los scandless area.

It’s impossible to strip all the trichomes off of a bud and leave it intact, because you would need to break up the bud to remove ALL the trichomes. Even if you could remove all the trichomes the bud itself would still contain THC (just less) and still not be totally worthless.

I wonder what would happen if I snorted that kief powder off the blade of that knife? Would it make me really high?
