What is a pollen press? Well, when you grind up your flower to smoke weed in a 3-piece grinder (with a kief catch), kief (high in THC) is collected in the bottom chamber. This kief can be sprinkled in small amounts using a paddle tool (a Lego shovel and the stirring tool from Starbucks work great if you’re on a tight budget) or can be pressed together using a pollen press to create a hash patty that can be smoked on its own or on top of marijuana or tobacco.
