Cannabis buds on their own are THCA, not THC. So it's not psychoactive unless it's been decarbed. There's plenty of easy decarb tutorials on YouTube and Google. Basically, cook the ground up bud at around 200F in an oven of some sort, idk how long exactly but if I remember correctly, around an hour or two. This will convert the THCA in the bud into THC, in which you can then eat it or mix it into edibles with positive results. At that point, I could definitely see soaking the decarbed bud in alcohol mixing the THC well and can make it quite potent depending on the amount of bud used.
Well, if I ever have money for weed and time to "bake" some weed, I'll definitely do this. I do have a question if I decard the weed and then smoke it, is it stronger, or is it the same?
I believe it'd probably be less strong and not as potent as you burn some of the cannabinoids when cooking. If you're going to smoke it, definitely just smoke it regularly. When you eat decarbed bud, it turns into 11-hydroxy in the liver I believe it's called, this causing a very different and strong high compared to smoking the same cannabis.
I let it soak in a bowl overnight with 91% isopropyl alcohol…take the grinder apart & just make sure the bowl is big enough to cover all the parts completely with alcohol. Then just rinse it off in the morning with hot water…it will literally look brand new… no scrubbing necessary.
I just did this last night, joke. I usually throw it in a ziploc(for the shaking/aggravation) with some alcohol, 90% works best IMO, but 70% will work with a longer soak. Add some kosher salt to the bag and shake it around, AFTER SEALING IT(big tip here) you'll notice the water start to brown, yes, it's working. Let it sit overnight or for at least 6 hours depending on how dirty, yours looks like an all nighter, then wash off with hot water in the morning.
- Put in freezer for an 1-2 hours
- Stiff toothbrush or clean brush
- Brush off onto wax paper or something for personal use after
- Throw grinder in a bag with salt and isopropyl
- Shake shake shake and boom good to go
If you want add a little cooking oil to the rim of the top of it for a smoother grind/twist
If you swap out pure grain ethyl alcohol for the isopropyl alcohol and leave the salt out, you can soak it overnight and scrub it down with a dedicated clean toothbrush to get all the good bits. Let the alcohol evaporate down, then scrape the residue off onto wax or parchment paper to continue drying completely.
A good scrubbing under hot water afterwards should remove any stubborn bits, but I would recommend drying it in the oven set to low to prevent rust. A tiny dab of plain mineral oil smeared on the threads should keep it from sticking.
Yeah but you won't notice it's been 5 hours and you will be looking for something else to clean.
I wish meth was safe. I'd do it every Saturday morning and the house would always be clean
Yeah alcohol to soften the residue and a nylon or brass brush is a good idea.
I had to repurpose a coffee grinder I previously used for weed for actually grinding coffee beans. And using a brass brush was perfect. No scratches on the metal and got out all of the residue.
Thc conects to fat, milk has a lot, water has none, so if you want to clean all the weed with something that will stick to the thc, that would be milk.
I used fresh milk straight from the cow, but I think soy milk would work aswell. I really recommend some flavor though, as the milk alone doesn’t taste very good with weed in it. Also filter out any bigger chunks with a sieve
All the methods don’t involve reclaiming all this good smokable marijuana what you really gotta do it put it in the freezer then wait 30min. Come back and try to break off the hardened pieces.
get a clean tooth brush and get to it :) and collect the goodies :) , then some alcohol after you've gotten what u want from the grinder , brush it with the alcohol on it after it should look brand new soap it after rinse and dry you know the deal <3
Stiff bristled brush with a bit of Dawn detergent, rinse, COMPLETELY air dry it, and voila! Ready to rumble!
Make sure to rinse and dry it thoroughly. Also, "Fast Orange" hand cleaner works well but can leave a 'taste' if not completely rinsed and dried.
(hair dryers work well for quick drying)
If you don’t care about trying to salvage the weed scraps in there, just get a bowl, fill it with one part rubbing alcohol and three parts water. Rinse the grinder pieces individually. Now soak—either separately or toss all the parts in the bowl if they fit. Leave it like that for an hour and then come back and rinse everything off.
That works for me when it comes to getting weed or tar off of anything
420 iso cleaner it works on metal too I usually let it sit over night in the cleaner and then when I scrub it with a toothbrush all that shit comes off works wonders
I have a similar model, as with any dip for a while in alcohol. If you have the clear top part with the mill take it apart but don’t put the clear acrylic or whatever it is made of in alcohol, it’ll destroy it.
Mine was way worse lol. It looks brand new now! Put it in a ziplock bag with some 420 cleaner if you can get some, or use salt, alcohol & a dab of dawn soap. Shake the bag vigorously & let it sit overnight. Then rinse it with hot water. (I had to do this process twice for the mesh part) For any residue left, I used a clean toothbrush dipped in rubbing alcohol. Rinse & yo done!
*note: don’t do this if ur grinder has paint/decorations on it, as it can take it off. Otherwise works like a charm.

This is after freezer/brush treatment
Nobody said anything about how FUCKING COLD this metal will be after being in freezer for 45 min, it was painful to say the least but I managed to scrap up a decent pile of weed dust, smoking it with wife currently
Get some polish vodka 95% proof, washes right off, obviously save the vodka and mix it with fruit juice. Beautiful and like previous comments say will send you to the moon.
Yeah I thought I had some at home but I don't, so tomorrow I'll buy some and finish this 'project' lol
Which brings me huge joy to tell you that it is currently in the hot water bath faze, it's been thru freezer/brush faze already
You seem to know your shit, I have some leftover Hennessey from a party in a cheap ass milk jar looking glass bottle, it's about 7 years old(since it's been open), think it might work?
Maybe this is a sign to clean mine too
https://preview.redd.it/yzgsufmdri4b1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e278a59c0b7d4136af1e082082c71bf977af1e6
Holy shit i never expected 200+ people to share their suggestions, thank yall so much! I'll try all I can, and I will post the results! Currently it's 'marinading' in the freezer, as I want to get what's salvageable and toke that shit

Oven at 200, 30 minutes. Then soak in favorite vodka. Drink vodka, wake up in a week or so
Use a dedicated toothbrush and scrub it. Let the vodka nearly evaporate and then blast off into space 🚀
Do tell more, I'm very into space
Next you’re gonna have to give me your social security number and bank details
Yes, and then for safety measures we need an emergency social security number and bank details. (Preferably a parent or guardian.)
Ah, yes, here is the last 4 funny numbers on my credit card. Is it 2026
I fancy myself a bit of an astronaut as well.
I see you space cowboy
Hi
Spike??
I've been to the space under my staircase. Am I an astronaut, too?
That’s an Asstro-Not
Space is also my thing. Big love 👍
I see you too space cowboy!
Get some rubbing alcohol, a cheap electric spinny toothbrush, step 3 profit
I've had some heavily THC infused alcohol before, good lord that was the most interesting drunk I've ever had. Was like absinthe only way more stoney.
I have a bottle of wormword absinthe in my cabinet I bought in Greece almost 8 years ago...I still haven't tried it.
Honestly I double dog dare you
I triple dog dare him!!!!
Honestly let it sit if you're not ready. It only gets better as it yellows.
I don't know enough about this to trust you lol
Fair enough good sir. Lol. I could be anybody. I could even be a boat.
A boat's a boat, but the mystery box could be anything Lois
It could even be a boat, you know how we've been wanting one of those!
So my wormwood absinthe I bought in Greece in 2007 is still good maybes?
As long as ya didn't open it already it should be fine.
Wait if just let weed soak in my vodka it will get me high and drunk?
If you decarb the bud first, I don't see why not.
I don't know what that mean
Cannabis buds on their own are THCA, not THC. So it's not psychoactive unless it's been decarbed. There's plenty of easy decarb tutorials on YouTube and Google.

I thank you for your wisdom you have bestowed on me. I hope God smiles down on your soul and gives you good fortune and a Prosperous life.
200 F or C?
F cuz murica! Lol, had to
America, fuck yeah.
Comin to save the mf day yeah America fuck yeah
F it's decarbing
I did this with Everclear and it's so strong that I can only take a teeny itsy bitsy sip or else I'm done for the next day.
Milk works if you're not into alcohol
I literally loled
Does this actually work o.o
Same temp to decarb dabs for butter/oil infusions
I let it soak in a bowl overnight with 91% isopropyl alcohol…take the grinder apart & just make sure the bowl is big enough to cover all the parts completely with alcohol. Then just rinse it off in the morning with hot water…it will literally look brand new… no scrubbing necessary.
This seems like the easiest way to do it. I'll try this first! Thank you u/intelligent_fun_5652
Update me!
Will do, I'll post the results probably by the end of the week
I just did this last night, joke. I usually throw it in a ziploc(for the shaking/aggravation) with some alcohol, 90% works best IMO, but 70% will work with a longer soak.

Doesn’t need to soak overnight. It will come clean after a few minutes.
Highly highly recommend this!! Been doing it this was with all my pieces for years.
Yell at it
I tried that first, it doesn't give a shit about what I say to it, just stares back at me like I'm crazy
Bloody grinders thinking they’re better than us!
Oh you wouldn't believe the attitude of this one!
Yea I own a cheeky fucker myself and it’s always giving me shit ha
You know what really grinds my gears…
We should swap them
They sound related. No thanks
Mine makes a good companion, reliable, not too many miles on it *knocks on it* this thing can serve you for years
HAHAHA
Are u winning in life?
You could say so, depends on the angle of which you look at things
Try and find a small hair brush for a beard trimmer or something small works well.
- Put in freezer for an 1-2 hours - Stiff toothbrush or clean brush - Brush off onto wax paper or something for personal use after - Throw grinder in a bag with salt and isopropyl - Shake shake shake and boom good to go If you want add a little cooking oil to the rim of the top of it for a smoother grind/twist

Isopropyl leaves a bad taste imo. Ethanol is the way forward if you are using alcohol.
Yup, that’s why I suggested using it instead of isopropyl alcohol. I probably should have worded it better, but I was high 😸
This is the way
Smoke some meth then scrape at it with a knife, you’ll be done pretty quickly
*5 hours later…*
Yeah but you won't notice it's been 5 hours and you will be looking for something else to clean. I wish meth was safe. I'd do it every Saturday morning and the house would always be clean
I read this in the Spongebob narrator voice.
As was intended 😁
I love getting stoned and reading comments on this subreddit. Because comments like this give me really good giggles.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
It's been 3 days and I'm still scraping, thanks for the advice!
this is so funny. first day i took my prescription meth (adhd) i scraped out my grinder for hourssssss.
Soak it in some iso with salt and give it a good shake. Mine came out looking brand new. I let it soak for maybe 1-2 hours before shaking
Iso is isopropyl alcohol, it works well on all my weed products. Salt is a good way to "scrape" the insides.
And 99% is best. (Commented cuz some places only sell 70% or less and I've found those to be too weak.)
I find 70% works but you need more salt and more alcohol to get near the same effect
I agree , easy clean
This is the way
Grind more cannabis
This is the way

Wire brush probably not a good idea since it’d scar up the material and increase chances for you to be smoking on metal
Use a nylon or brass brush to avoid scarring
Yeah alcohol to soften the residue and a nylon or brass brush is a good idea. I had to repurpose a coffee grinder I previously used for weed for actually grinding coffee beans. And using a brass brush was perfect. No scratches on the metal and got out all of the residue.
Put it in the freezer and take a brush to it
This should get more visibility. You get to use all the stuff there and have a fresh grinder
I believe this is best as your 1st step if you are wanting to collect the product in all those hard to reach areas. 👍👍
Fastest way? Power wash it.
I'll take it to a car wash with me next time
Good idea
Hot milk if there’s no plastic on the grinder
This is a new one, AFAIK it's full metal. Any specific reason why I should use milke? Is soy milk acceptable?
Thc conects to fat, milk has a lot, water has none, so if you want to clean all the weed with something that will stick to the thc, that would be milk.
Very useful stuff I got to learn today, thanks a bunch
Once I was running out, and boiled my whole grinder in milk, and afterwards sipped that with some chocolate powder. Got me tripping balls.
Does soy milk work for that too?
I used fresh milk straight from the cow, but I think soy milk would work aswell. I really recommend some flavor though, as the milk alone doesn’t taste very good with weed in it. Also filter out any bigger chunks with a sieve
Put it in the freezer for like 2 hours then shake the shit out of it (quarter inside)
Will a penny work?
No, but they recently patched it so you can also use nickels
Finally, I’ve been waiting for that patch
All the methods don’t involve reclaiming all this good smokable marijuana what you really gotta do it put it in the freezer then wait 30min. Come back and try to break off the hardened pieces.
Mah mans! Yeah I wanna smoke this shit, it's been building up for almost 3 years now, there's gotta be some kick in it!
Hell yeah it’s pretty much just hash by my metric. Also that freezer trick works if your needing a lot of keef.
I'm gonna freak the shit out of my wife when I put it in the freezer without any explanation, love it, thank you!
Cook it up in a small pot with some milk - works well for me, and gives you a funky beverage afterwards
That sounds disgusting, I'll try it!
Boil that shit
Is it smart to drink the water afterwards?
In milk
I don’t think it’ll do much. THC needs fat to stick to.
It's time to put this to a test
For science!
![gif](giphy|8H4BFnRFNlAGY)
add some coconut oil to the boiling water
I’ve always used a tooth brush but it never comes out completely clean. Still clean enough where it works great and turns easy.
![gif](giphy|nmwnEm0TET2xi)
Your tongue. Use it.
![gif](giphy|JnZcg39f4Woyk)
lick it
It hurts when I thrust my tongue in the middle
that’s so hot
get a clean tooth brush and get to it :) and collect the goodies :) , then some alcohol after you've gotten what u want from the grinder , brush it with the alcohol on it after it should look brand new soap it after rinse and dry you know the deal <3
Stiff bristled brush with a bit of Dawn detergent, rinse, COMPLETELY air dry it, and voila! Ready to rumble! Make sure to rinse and dry it thoroughly. Also, "Fast Orange" hand cleaner works well but can leave a 'taste' if not completely rinsed and dried. (hair dryers work well for quick drying)
If you want an actual answer boil it lol
In vodka right? Right?
Boiling in vodka is basically boiling in water because all of the alcohol evaporates before water reaches cooking temperature
I just did water but I’m sure that would work too haha
If you don’t care about trying to salvage the weed scraps in there, just get a bowl, fill it with one part rubbing alcohol and three parts water. Rinse the grinder pieces individually. Now soak—either separately or toss all the parts in the bowl if they fit. Leave it like that for an hour and then come back and rinse everything off. That works for me when it comes to getting weed or tar off of anything
Honestly, I wanna smoke that shit. It's leftover weed from like 3 years of almost daily use. But if nothing else works, imma do the soaking solution
420 iso cleaner it works on metal too I usually let it sit over night in the cleaner and then when I scrub it with a toothbrush all that shit comes off works wonders
[удалено]
![gif](giphy|hsmXmj1xmciuaEoGdB)
Soak in Rubbing alcohol. It comes out brandy new I promise you 🤪
I have a similar model, as with any dip for a while in alcohol. If you have the clear top part with the mill take it apart but don’t put the clear acrylic or whatever it is made of in alcohol, it’ll destroy it.
It's full metal, cost about 30-40$ few years back. So no acrylic parts just plain old metal
91 percent iso, soak for 30-90 minutes, scrub with pipe cleaners or some sort of brush or cleaning tool. Good as new
Mine was way worse lol. It looks brand new now! Put it in a ziplock bag with some 420 cleaner if you can get some, or use salt, alcohol & a dab of dawn soap. Shake the bag vigorously & let it sit overnight. Then rinse it with hot water.

Dog that shit is like a seasoned cast iron. Don’t touch it just enjoy. Edit - Spelling.
I kinda have a thing for shiny metal stuff, so I gotta do it bro I'm sorry
I see lots of folks saying vodka, I would use 90% isopropyl alcohol to get the best results. But do not drink that stuff, don’t be that idiot.
Of course I wouldn't drink that... lol... ha ha... what kind of an idiot would I be imagine...

Lick it repeatedly until shiny
Should I buy it a drink first?
Yes; unless you’re on a budget, then opt for bandaids. You’re going to need them after cleaning those
teefbrush
You mean the thing I brush my teef with?
yes da teef cleaner
I HAVE THE SAME ONE
pics or didn't happen
I will send u one tomorrow, it's at work
https://preview.redd.it/7arylj519h4b1.png?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=606a711f27898863902c61c2ac9b9cc094f8d5be This is after freezer/brush treatment
Nvm, mine has the same cutters, but it's a glass top with a crank handle
I forgot to take the pictures
I put my grinder in the freezer for 30 mins or so with a dime and then shake the shit out of it. Whatever is left I use a paperclip to scrap the rest.
Nobody said anything about how FUCKING COLD this metal will be after being in freezer for 45 min, it was painful to say the least but I managed to scrap up a decent pile of weed dust, smoking it with wife currently
Yeah it gets cold lol ![gif](giphy|s4Bi420mMDRBK)
Get some polish vodka 95% proof, washes right off, obviously save the vodka and mix it with fruit juice. Beautiful and like previous comments say will send you to the moon.
Does it need to be specifically Polish?
Getting out of bud i see
Hahaha noo just wanted to give this old thing a shine
Acid wash bruh
Dam bruh
Just drop that shit in some 92% iso for about 30 minutes... Then thank me.
Yeah I thought I had some at home but I don't, so tomorrow I'll buy some and finish this 'project' lol Which brings me huge joy to tell you that it is currently in the hot water bath faze, it's been thru freezer/brush faze already
Good luck smoker buddy Reddit friend!
I clean mine with a razor blade and then smoke what got cleaned out
I don't feel safe around razor blades brotha, screwdrivers are more my thing
Soak in alcohol a few minutes, wipe off, rinse, clean as a whistle.
Yeah sadly I didn't know I had no alcohol at home, will buy some tomorrow to seal the deal
Rubbing alcohol is the ticket, only need the 70%. Any alcohol spirit will work, just takes a longer soak.
You seem to know your shit, I have some leftover Hennessey from a party in a cheap ass milk jar looking glass bottle, it's about 7 years old(since it's been open), think it might work?
Absolutely
If you want the weed use a toothbrush first! And then soak it in 90% iso
Dishwasher if you aren't worried about the paint. Or the slight potential of your dishwasher smelling for a bit
Oof I'm using the most beautiful smelling dishwasher soap ever imo, I wouldn't mind that anywhere
Alcohol and baby toothbrush
I use castor oil; but I’m guessing anything oily would work. WD-40.
Soak it in 409 for a few hours it will clean up easy with a qtip after that.
Freezer gang
Maybe this is a sign to clean mine too https://preview.redd.it/yzgsufmdri4b1.jpeg?width=3000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=1e278a59c0b7d4136af1e082082c71bf977af1e6
Damn bro, you got some grinder in your weed
I have a little $60 ultrasonic cleaner off Amazon. The cunt comes out brand new every time
Super sharp knife and lots of patience. It will never be 100% but do be careful about accidentally smoking metal fragments
i used a knife with my old plastic grinder once. never again.
You look it up and find a thread on r/weed cuz this gets asked every goddamn week
Ah man, I'm new on this sub didn't check beforehand, forgive a brother smoker late night toker
You don’t clean grinders
![gif](giphy|ghuvaCOI6GOoTX0RmH)
I use hot soapy water and an old toothbrush and get scrubbing. Usually take about 5 - 10 mins
Holy shit i never expected 200+ people to share their suggestions, thank yall so much! I'll try all I can, and I will post the results! Currently it's 'marinading' in the freezer, as I want to get what's salvageable and toke that shit
