Picked up whatever I could , the rest was pretty much dog fur and weed even though I vacuum at least once a day (my dog loses so much fur) and while I was picking up, I wasn't exactly sure of my emotions, actually I went through a whole array of emotions fear while it fell, screaming of anger while I was looking at my weed on the floor, laughing tears when remembering I got a lot more weed and right at the end, which is now, a strange moral dilemma where I'm sitting in front of that hairy, dusty, dirty ass weed in my grinder and asking myself the question "Am I being wasteful if I toss that? Or am I a dirty ass mf if I smoke it?"
Of all the bad emotions a human can experience, where do you put what you feel when you freshly grind some weed, then instantly drop the open grinder?
AskTreesHahah yep, just laugh cause sometimes shit happens and it's a shame, but nothing you can do
Hello fellow abused human.
Nvm to all the life-guide responses, it's a good stubbed toe, sharp, unfortunate, but passes quickly. Stopped being such an issue when the sock over the vacuum nozzle hack went live.
I remember learning that years ago! But then again that wouldn't filter out the dog fur, I think. By the way I pulled out all the fur I could and gave the rest back as an offering to the gods so it may never happen again.
Bro noone ever thinks about the dog fur. Wherever this happens to me all I can do is salute and move on.
There’s dog hair in my weed whether I drop the grinder or not. Those fuckers end up everywhere.
On the ground, dog hair. On my desk? Cat hair. There's no winning 😭
I’ve found dog hair in my asscrack dawg
“Dawg” lol
And I’ve found asscrack hair on my dog dawg
Facts same here its so bad, they don’t even come in my room HOW DOES IT HAPPEN?!?
I've 1000% smoked dog hair, cat hair, my own hair... But I am not going to punish myself by not smoking the floor weed!
I can assure you, the floor weed was definitely smoked.
In my case it's parrot dust instead of dog fur 🤣 I have 3 cockatiels.
Once i did this right after the exterminator sprayed in the house. I still rolled it up and went for it. Then got so high facing a blunt i convinced myself that I had ingested the chemicals and was going to die. I was fine. Lol.
I just write it off, ain't got the time or patience to be plucking out hairs with tweezers for a joints worth of bud.
Dropping your grinder is a quiet kind of despair, you stare for a moment, trying to come to terms with what you just did and what happened, nothing said just pure and utter defeat
"Doo doo doo doodoot so happy I'm humming lalala la- drops ...oh....... stares at floor. heavy sigh. grab another nug or alternatively scrounge and then abandon the hair crusted weed for some roaches you stashed away"
Was rolling in the car with the window open and when I opened the grinder, a gust of wind blew the weeds everywhere
Hahahah
Bob Marley - Jammin' intensifies
Got blunt?
Got weed?
Did you see what gooooood did to us, maaaaaan?
The way I see it, you're giving a hit to mother earth herself.
I never get upset when I drop weed because I know the earth is what gave it to me in the first place so it deserves a hit or two.
This didn't happen to me in so long, almost felt like a completely new experience.
The anger was most likely not the weed, like I said I got a lot more weed left, probably some unconscious anger coming out from something unrelated, maybe I got a little more of that than the regular fellow.
Be curious about the feeling, especially after you smoke. Anger is almost always a secondary emotion, meaning that there is some hidden unresolved emotion nugget you need to resolve to avoid that anger trigger in the future. But hey, that’s the ideal and a lifelong struggle. Be patient with yourself too and grateful you’ve got enough weed to drop some and keep on toking.
A much more eloquent way of saying what meant. Well done.
You’re too kind. I’ve just heard it explained well, and now you have too. You’ll pass it along just like I did. Be well.
Very nicely put by the both of you.
Even if it isn't the high itself, weed can reveal a lot about a person. I hope you learn from and benefit from this experience.
Kinda hits different when it’s carpet. It doesn’t deserve the weed at all.
I smoke my weed outdoors so I can't relate. I'd imagine that is much worse of a feeling.
the earth is always stoned
Upvote for pun.
What if you drop it on your hardwood floor??? Does the wood take a hit??? 🧐
Love this. I put spilled weed in the compost bin. I like to imagine the bugs enjoying it.
thats a great idea actually, ill do that next time instead of just throwing it out😭
This is oddly beautiful and it reminds me of the practice of offering sacrifices to the Gods
Well said.
Mother Earth be taking the fattest rips of that LA Haze like 24/7 brooooo 😶🌫️
brother, that was our last bit!! we are broke!!!
Dropping the kief tray is by far the most devastating
... which adds to the arguments for 2-piece grinders, and just smoking it along with your weed.
“Hah. Figures.”
Hahaha yess
I just say I’m sharing some for my dead homies and quickly look around shifty so everyone will think I totally did it on purpose but if I’m alone, theee longest sigh
What about coming home from a horrible shift and kicking over your grinder that you had apparently left open
It's a message from gravity. Gravity says, "pass it my way."
It's been a long time since it happened, but I remember feeling anger and sadness. I wasn't making a ton of money at the time, had just moved, didn't know anybody, was having tons of anxiety, then the spilled weed I spent good money on was just the icing. I wasn't loud about it, but those feelings just enveloped me. Can't remember what I did, probably sat there picking it up and smoked what I could salvage. It wasn't a good day.
This is the only acceptable time to turn your flag upside down
Flag upside down usually means “in dire distress/send help“
Flag half mast means “in mourning”
This seems more of a half mast issue. Wouldn’t want people showing up thinking you need urgent assistance, ie a cop.
No no, I need urgent assistance getting more
Never did that but did indeed try to out my grinder back together when it was upside down a spilled s bit, neve cry over spilled anythin.
“This time I’m really gonna do it”
Unbridled rage
it's not sadness or anger it's just pain
Back when I lived in the Midwest I'd be crestfallen. There is a dispensary within walking distance of me, so dropping the weed is just a nice excuse to take a stroll outside.
Shake bin after I pull the dog hair out. Or, to the homies if too much hair.
I put it on par with the feeling of driving around a packed parking lot, seeing an open spot one row over, looping around to snag it, and getting beat to the spot by someone else
Screaming crying throwing up
The same way I feel if I drop a plate of food.
"Oh that sucks, I have to clean up and prep more now."
It's just an inconvenience.
Right up there with hitting your toe on the corner of your homies bed, and then they say "oh yeah watch out" AFTER you're fent' folded over their bed ready to shit a brick
Honestly I’ve done this. TBH if I drop weed, I just pull out whatever dog hairs I can, and whatever I deem “unsmokable” I trash.
We probably eat dog hair while we sleep, and inhale it.
If I die, by accidentally smoking dog hair, it’s my time to go I guess 😂
Back in my less wholesome days I watched a guy do his share of the blow, then accidentally dump the entire thing on a unmade dirty bed.
If you're reading this Danny, I hope you're doing well.
My ex sneezed away a little less than a gram once while doing a line, Zeisy, eat shit.
It’s less than $5. It’s a shame but not a huge hit.
10/10 on the shame scale, 11/10 if someone sees me do it
The same feeling I used to get on Saturday morning when I’d stay home and watch cartoons in the 80s. Cozy and everything is right with the world.
I pick the dog hair out of it and smoke it. I've done worse things to my body in my years on this earth.
At first it was upsetting, soul crushing.
Now it's a reminder that complacency kills.
I take it as a reminder that I need to slow down my actions and the anticipation of indulging in using the herb caused my fumbling of the bag.
I move one hopefully learning a little about myself and the situation.
Then I pick it up off the ground a smoke that dirt boi.
Damnit now I’m having flashbacks. I dropped a years worth of Keif and I was trying to forget about it no… no… NOOO!

Lucky it hasn't happened to me in nearly a year but it's very deflating lol. If I have weed I toss/vacuum the dropped weed, or I'll be smoking cat hair. If I don't have any left and I'm sober, I'll go out and buy some, and if I'm not sober I take it as a sign that I'm done for the day lol
This is why I do all my grinding and rolling in the bathroom
What do you do with it if it falls on the bathroom floor? 👀
After spilling a freshly packed bowl, I could contemplate genocide
Just above dropping it when it's the last of your stash.
Considering how much I have fucked up everything, it's just more of the same.
I laugh and grind more, shit happens.🤷♂️
Near instant seppuku
Weed has calmed me to now laugh and grind some more.
Top shelf flower is cheap where I live I doubt I'd care very much. If I somehow got debris in my wax that would be a different story.
This is when you tie a dryer sheet to your vacuum’s tube attachment and get to it. I’ve done it and I’m not ashamed, works quite well
I usually just calmly pick up whatever I can off the floor, table, carpet, etc. If it landed in something nasty, I won't bother with it. There's a moment of shock, and then I laugh, calling myself dumb. If I had smoked before grinding more weed, I wonder if maybe I'm higher than I realize and if I should even smoke more if all I'm doing is dropping it. 💀
Kill Weed
Regret
I have hardwood floors. And 2 dogs, and 2 cats, and a rabbit. So I just sign, scoop what I can off the floor and pick as much hair as I can out of the rest.
This used to be a sinking feeling similar to watching a clogged toilet spill over the brim. The knowledge that you fucked up paired with an exponential multiplier that keeps pinging like a hit combo getting worse and worse while you watch.
Bending on hands and knees to pick that shit up - and realizing only while closer, that it’s actually twice as much as you thought - and in 5 different parts of your carpet.
Getting excited about the joint you’ve saved with all your meticulous pruning - only to realize the pile you recovered is 70% lint, because 50% of the weed you dropped is stuck to your socks (and you still have to get it all off before washing unless you want all your work clothes to smell like ABV.
Luckily though I’ve grown older and more resourceful - I never have less than 2 oz’s on me so these days it’s just a funny pass of the vacuum
Top 5 all time
So long as it wasn't carpet I'm vaccing it up with cheese cloth. If it's carpet I laugh and grind more Far into the table
Did it with my buddy’s kief tray like 10 years ago. I still feel horrible and cringe when I think about it
it depends where my state of mind is. Sometimes I will get sad. Sometimes I will feel angry.
Mild inconvenience causing some frustration. Now I have to scoop it all up and get cat hair woven into it. Such a pain every single time I drop some/all
How long since my last joint?
How much weed do I have left?
Depression
Two months ago I dropped a brand new, just ground, open 1/4 oz. jar.
I spent so long on that floor, picking up flakes and cursing my dumb ass.
It's anger and disappointment, man. smh
The first time I ever laid a hand on my dog (who was like a 6 mo. ol' pit puppy at the time) was b/c his happy puppy tail just knocked over a g of fresh ground bud from off of the coffee table and there was no getting it out of the carpet. I had just sold the g to this chick that was ready to fire it up and had to fork up another to compensate. Out of frustration, I gave the puppy one quick swat on the hiney and where he'd never been smacked before, he squatted and peed in the floor. So now I had two messes to clean up. FML. Everyone else there got a laugh out of it except me...
Like a 2 just get a sock + hoover...there are worse things to feel
I cry a little.
This has brought me to tears before
Depends on how my day is going. Either a moment of silence to process the pain or rage quit for the day 😂
At least was easy to pick up, the worst is when it falls into an area like between the cushion and arm of the couch, or in between the seats in the car, can't even i.agin the folks in the 70s with shag carpet....
It’s an internal super Saiyan “fuck” but then just chill. No point in trippin over it
Maybe something like doing a big fuck up at work that you can solve in 5 minutes after all, dropping/breaking your favorite mug or cooking something that you really like only to forget about it and let it burn.
Put a t-shirt over a vacuum hose.
A couple of years ago I knocked my dope off my dresser and into a junk drawer full of dirt, crumbs, and lots of dog hair and fuzz. I snorted it for days, some lines more mystery dirt than dope. Do what you have to do.
i once filled and drop the bowl piece 3 times in a row. i started yelling and getting super mad and my bf had to calm me down bc i was just flabbergasted at how i could make the same mistake 3 times in less than a minute
True and utter despair.
As long as its not the last grinder full of weed then we proceed, one for the homies
Not as bad as when I break glass that I have had through many phases of life.
I just think about how I'll probably have more weed soon. I get smaller amounts each week, so dropping a grinder means I lose a day of smoking but in reality I'll have many more to come. Why focus on a mistake made in the present when the future holds more and you can imagine? Why do I care about 3 bowls when I'll smoke a couple thousand in my lifetime?
It's a test
Watch out for rogue pubes.
The weed you have left the harder it hits 🥲
Some extreme of disappointment, or maybe despair
i fall into a 48 hour existential rabbit hole
Tettering on the stool. With sweaty feet
Smoke it for the folk who have hair in their weed and don’t have anymore
It's important to let go of judgements like this, especially when it was a pure accident. Just pick out the big hairs and light it up, man. I'm sure things will be better, soon.
That’s horrible…. Not sure which level of horrible…. But definitely hor
rible
Knock on wood it's never happened but I've only used a grinder for the last year or so.
I have not had this happen to me yet. Coming up on a year of smoking
worse when u drop the kief 😔
Feels bad, man
That reminds me of how I threw out a fresh herb chamber into the already been vaped pile because I forgot where I was. It's alright, I just scooped whatever into the chamber. The bud's gonna have a lot of sleepy within it.
Ain’t nothing else to do but pick it up
Kinda the same: summer 2021 my friends and I hadn’t used any of our kief and midway decided to use it all in one bowl for my friends going back to college gift.
Welp my friend droppped the bowl, all of it on a wooden deck. Still feel my heart drop
I feel you so much, I have a mcdonalds tray that I use to roll, and since I always use the tray and I have an old card I can use to reclaim anything that falls in, it always has weed and on top of that I have the very bad habit of leaving my grinder open with what's left of the joint I just rolled there on the tray, there were times were I was rolling the second or there and I was def not careful with where I put it, that is to say...
After several accidents I now have a wole shelf dedicated to said tray, it only comes out to the table when it's being used and inmediately goes back to it's shelf before I even bring out the lighter
Failure. Existential failure.
If you smoke weed, this will happen to you every now and again. Can’t avoid it. When it happens, just be happy that it won’t happen for a while again.
It's the angels portion. Life goes on.
One time we grinded all of our bud and set it down on the curb. One of our friends, who does not smoke, smoked and he kicked the grinder to oblivion without noticing it( it was dark no light).
I could drop that much every day and not care at all except for cleaning it up. Grow
Eigh it happens if it wasn’t the last bit of it then who cares!!
Its happened so many times i dont even get mad anymore
I just pop the good ole “it happens“
When I was 19 I would’ve lost it. Like be angry for a day mad about it. Now, I’m like “damn, that sucks.” I have a steady income and that helps
Like the time I made a bowl of mac and cheese -- my cat tripped me... and it wasn't in the bowl anymore.
I don't think I can describe that feeling, but chat gpt is well versed in the German language and create a German word that encapsulates that feeling for you
Slow down !!!! Crush another nug, and forget about it! Sorry, we all fumble. I’m old, I grind over a tray these days. Cheers. ENJOY THE BURN 🔥
I once spent an hour grinding old weed i had after a tbreak bc of medical stuff, to extract the kief out with my "freezer method" and as soon as i finished it freezing and knocking most of the kief off, i took out the tray to see my collection and dropped the whole thing into my carpet. I had every emotion flow through me in about 5 seconds and itnwas just extreme sadness after
That’s up there with losing a loved one
Love the clipper 🦉
Like laptop crashing while I'm doing something level. It's just weed, can't get that mad at it
you can still cook a cannabis tea with it, just make sure to use a fine strainer afterwards. dont forget the butter in the water, cook for 30 minutes+
Weeeellllp, I guess I'm smoking dog hair
This is why I don't use grinders, I don't trust myself not to spill it.
Grind more. There's no point for me to be upset about that. It's the way of life. I've got other emotions from important things to deal with. I won't allow myself to be upset about something that regularly happens in life. $5 worth of herb lost. No big deal in the scheme of things. If that's my worry, I'm doing great.
I take a deep breath and think about if smoking is really worth it.. and then I grind more weed
I usually have to instantly let it go and I just go "aw...." and try not to dwell. But honestly I've been spilling my feshly packed bowls a lot lately and each time I do it I get a little more gut punched.
Depends. Was it the last of it?
I feel bummed, but I just grind some more after
Pretty low on the list for me. Just grind up more
That's why you gotta have a nice clean, non-porous surface to roll on my dude...
At least I do bc I'm too much of a clutz & accidents don't just happen, they're expected 😂💓
I'm just thankful I didn't drop the open kief catch
This will make me feel much better. Like I could run barefoot but wearing a pair of shoes certainly does help.
Not mad at myself, just disappointed
I work year round at a ski shop, during the summer 3 other dudes and myself tune our rental fleet. We start every morning with me grinding some weed. It's the best part of my day.just having some time with muh boys watching the sunrise while getting a bowl in.
But I lost a fresh grind a couple days ago and honestly, just because of who i work with I had zero problems, the boys all chipped in to make the morning!!
I would call it "anguish".
Like actual instant anger for a moment, intense, and like a light switch. Then I have to reign it in because it’s silly to get that angry over dropping a plant on the floor, and it changes to focus, annoyance, and anxiety as I pray that I can find all the tiny little pieces and collect them all into a pile again.
I think a kind thought for past me, who never dreamed she would live a life she could spill weed and have more weed to grind like it was no big thing, and is no longer smoking and re-smoking the nasty ass resin out of old pipes.
100% the exact same scenario you described happened to me 2 days ago haha. i put it aside in a little container to try get the hairs out and grinded some more
I would say ultimate pain and sadness. And dint let it be the last bit you, omg the worst 😫 😭
Time to get that roach clip out
Did this one with a FULL FULL grinder. Right into the grass. Tears were shed that day.
Throw the other haf at the wall. That would be my reaction
Just imagine it as pouring one out for the dead homies
I'm annoyed that I gotta go back to the safe, open the lb & grind again.
Here is how it plays out for me.
Drops freshly ground bud.
- "FUCK!"
Quickly vacuum it up.
Begin grinding the next bowl.
Life is too short to focus any more than that on the shitty things. 😎
I feel betrayed by my own 2 hands.
Hate grinders! Scissors are the way to go.
So that's just "Pache"-mama charging her tax I usually give some back as I roll or stuff with that purpose but if I'm being stingy that's typically when this happens.
Abject dissapointment
5 yrs ago? "Noooo! Fuckfuckfuck."
Today? "Hehe dang."
Helps to grow your own though.
I am, I got about until friday until harvest though 😂
Cuss then turn your attention to the floor and do what you can do! A few dogs or cat hairs have never hurt me yet.
I think I would rather cut off my finger than drop the grinder
Not near as bad as dropping my lit joint in the creek yesterday. I got it back but it was water logged.
I put what i feel into a from the chest “FFFFFUUUUUuuuuuuuuuuucccccck”
Dang that feeling sucks! Similar feeling when I go to smoke a J and a large raindrop lands directly on top of it, ruining the whole thing (and probably my entire evening, lol)
That spring pops in my head… my eyes go cross eyed… I scream kaaaahhhhnnn!
I just laugh because it’s the closest thing to cryin’
