Talk:Kief

message: The Stuff here described is called "Skuff" ,in Moroco they grind down all Flowers which is left from the Hash-Screen-Production,this is grinded down to fine green Powder,and is used mostly by elder People cause it contains very few THC (around 8%) cause the most Resin from the Flowers was extracted in Hash Production.Kief is just the remainings of Has-Production grinded to Powder.The Skuff described in this Tread has much more THC and is much higher Quality then Kief.
Kieff and Skuff has nothing do to with eath other,Stuff is finest Quality and Kieff is most bad Quality.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.139.100.22 (talk) 18:54, 2 August 2013 (UTC)

message: FWIW, I live in British Columbia, North America's cannabis capital.  I smoke kief on a regular basis, obtaining pure product from my local cannabis club.  The author of this article clearly has no experience with the product.  It is not "stronger than" thc it IS mostly THC.  It is smoked exactly the same way bud is smoked, has exactly the same effects (although due to its purity you don't need to use as much) and does NOT cause hallucinations (unless you also happen to hallucinate from bud itself).   It is NOT hash, although mixed with honey oil it is often sold as such, and is pretty much the same high.  Anyone who uses an electric bud buster has seen kief - it's that sandy substance that sticks in the bottom cracks of the buster.  That crystal that falls off your bud when you shake it?  THAT'S kief. 24.67.72.62 (talk) 16:47, 17 March 2011 (UTC)

message: The arabic word "كيف" kief/kayf means "How?" not "well being". I imagine there might have been a misinterpretation because of the phrase "keif halek?" which means "how are you", or more literally might mean "how is your well-being" (the -ek ending being the posessive suffix for "you"). I don't know about the etymology of the word, but Keif definitely doesn't mean "well-being or pleasure"  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.108.94.151 (talk) 21:04, 18 December 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: I wonder if you mind at all that as a name for smokable cannabis product generally, the similar Riefer has been proposed as a replacement for the not-so-American-looking reefer (which was damaged by its association with "madness" in a cynical movie title of the 30's).  Rhymes with "briefer" (someone who reads the morning papers and reports to the President).

Anyway what I posted was, does the photo really need a red circle drawn around the kief? The kief is the focal point of the picture. Is there a danger we might confuse the kief with the guy's finger or something? Maybe it's just me but that looks dumb and I laughed.—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 216.244.58.120 (talk • contribs).

:You are right that nothing is sourced here.  BUT if we allow local slang and practices there is no end to how big this article could grow. There are probably thousands of ways that people consume kief and thousands more slang terms. If you want to share your smoking techniques with others I can recommend several cannabis discussion forums. -- Diletante 15:47, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Older sources say that Keif (the most usual spelling used then) was an abstract noun from Arabic generally meaning the state of contentment resulting from having done drugs.  See: the former article "Keif" as of 20:00, 27 May 2006.
Currently, Keif is redirected to Kief, and this article does not acknowledge the older meaning except for scattered fragments in the "Regional meanings" section at the end.  This should be fixed... AnonMoos (talk) 21:26, 13 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Older meaning problem

message: It seems likely that kif means different things for different people - so it's a great pity that the following good information was removed from the article by an anomymous editor. It's from a primary source, but no worse for that.
In the late 1970s, Kif was available freely but surreptitiously in the poorer parts of town, where it was sold through a small hatch. The twigs of the cannabis plant (complete with leaves and seeds) were wrapped into a cone with newspaper. A small quantity of untaxed black tobacco was included, and this was (supposedly) the only part that was illegal.
Smokers in Fez prepared their smoking mixture fresh every day, chopping the twigs/leaves and 10% tobacco mixture on a wooden board. The little spherical seeds are unsmokeable, and were separated out after choppping with a rolling motion on a piece of card. The days supply would be carried in a little leather pouch. The pipe was made from a little cube of stone, with a long, engraved and painted wooden stem.
The use of kif must have been widespread, but it was not often seen in public. In the town of Kenitra, 40 clicks north of Rabat, the most evident place to see it going on was amongst those sitting on the wall outside the local equivalent of the magistrates court.

message: The following information, removed from the article on ground of "irrelevancy", offers needed health advice to users, especially of delicate kief, and includes a link to the vaporizer article cited.  
    
"A vaporizer heats herb material only to a subcombustion temperature, about 385°F, protecting against waste of delicate THC and eliminating carbon monoxide and other combustion toxins.  A recent study compares this consumption method to smoking.(.")
"An inexpensive variant of the vaporizer, the e-cigarette vaporizes liquid from an insertable cartridge.  Kief processed into liquid THC and loaded into an e-cigarette cartridge promises users benefits of vaporization in a convenient portable form." Tokerdesigner (talk) 20:08, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I trust sciencedaily.com as a reliable source and i don't believe the irrelevancy argument is solid. However, the article talks about THC in general and not Kief in particular. That said, I have no big reason to oppose the insertion of the edits. -- FayssalF - Wiki me up®  00:44, 18 January 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: "Cleanup" appears to be Mjpresson's private jargon for deleting anything s/he doesn't agree with, meaning chiefly something like the "See also" link to the One-hitter (smoking) article which describes an alternative way to use kief instead of in hot-burning, THC-destroying cigarette papers.  Check Mj's "Contributions" page for many similar recent edits including a deletion (May 26) of the Australian Department of Health warning against mixing cannabis with tobacco "which can lead to unintended nicotine addiction".Tokerdesigner (talk) 21:01, 17 June 2011 (UTC)
