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)
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)

"The temperature at which kief burns is lower than marijuana, meaning that if kief is consumed as marijuana bud THC will be wasted, or burned rather than ingested."
This is nonsense. THC and other cannabinoids still burn at the same temperature, whether it be in kief or in bud, in leaf or whatever. The actual kief material may burn quicker, but the THC inside isn't going to burn at a lower temperature just because it is "in the kief". Someone needs to correct this. Sorry I don't know how to sign off or any of that shit, I just read this article and felt it needed to be fixed.
I am going to remove the two sentences about the "Persian" word. First off, the language is Farsi, and second, the statement is not cited, has no validity, and harms the article by providing false information.

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)
No you dummy, let me correct you. Kief does mean "how?" in Arabic, there is no argument about that. Kief also means (literally) "the high" , the "pleasurable feeling" - which is usually used in context to refer to getting high from hashish in traditional Egyptian & other arabic languages. Kief, the sandy looking powder that falls off cannabis buds, could be smoked when collected, and is reffered to as Kief because this sandy substance produces the pleasurable feeling of a high (kief).

i agree that no merge should be made. kief is not hashish, and vice versa. Strawberryfire 13:02, 22 May 2006 (UTC)
Kief is definitely not hash! Although it can be used as a raw material for making it, smoking keif is just not smoking hash. A mention of kief in hash making is adequite enough.

I just added this and it showed up but then was gone seconds later...wtf?
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?

Uh, just gather some up again, and get closer.

I have also posted a picture on this site and it was deleted almost a day later.. I dont know who thinks they run this site but it is a public site.. i believe my picture was much better than "kief on parchment paper" that picture doesnt even look like kief.. as for merging this page into hashish, kief is not hashish it is much purer and gets you way higher.. so ya im gunna post my picture again and it better not be removed or i will have to talk to the moderators or somethin.. anybody who knows what kief is knows its far different than hash and should always have its own page.. I also dont agree with people erasing my contributions on this page as I am a very big pothead and this site is very useful when describing what kief/ tees are and how to get it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Brewcetee ( talk • contribs) 09:20, 22 March 2007

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)
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.
