Why is Kief so cheap on the DNMS?

Never have really understood it, its cheaper then shake a lot of the time. Cant you make wax with it or get baked as fuck (more than flower) off of it? Am I missing something here?

The kief is shake and trim kief/prekief. It isn't strictly trichs like you're thinking. The only decent kief I've seen was $35g

It seems like hash/kief is old school and concentrates have largely replaced them in quality and consistency

You can make concentrates like shatter and wax from trichromes but it's harder to make high quality shit compared with using trim- typically comes out dark and not as tasty because a lot of the terpenes and such are in the plant material.

One friend of mine in Mendocino sometimes uses it to make BHO, which is easier and much more common. I help him trim some years and he always has us trim over large framed mesh screens that only allow the trichromes through, same idea as a kief box. After trimming a few pounds there's a mountain of kief under it. He packs it into big mason jars and ends up filling dozens of them.

When he packs it in real tight the little bit of moisture in it will bind it all together and make a form of hash on its own, so there's really no need to process it any further. He smokes it and gives it away throughout the next year. It's really not worth it to him to sell it, I know I was offered a pound of it for $1000, and it's top quality.

People who are paying decent prices for concentrates tend to want something they can dab easily, there's just not a lot of demand for raw kief and a ton of supply. It's typical for farmers to use it for personal smoke so it just doesn't get sold too often, and when it does it's usually already been turned into BHO.

Keif costs $5-$10/ gram at the clinics and it sucks dick

it could be taked from there trim so they might not place a huge amount of value on it, some vendors could even sift there buds and sell them. In reality weed is cheap as fuck to grow so if the seller grows it perhaps they just dont mind selling it cheap. The kief from south africa is likely to be sifted from lots of outdoor plants that were easy as fuck to grow on a large scale

I bought a bunch from South Africa hopefully it even shows up its been about 3 weeks for my first order and 1 for my second. It was so Damn cheap I couldn't resist. I had to quit for a month or so for work reasons so I'm not impatient but damn am I excited to scar face a giant pile of kief when I'm a free man again.

Its cheap everywhere buddy, anywhere from $3-20 a gram depending on quality. I personally think its the bargain buy of the century i always keep a few grams around.
