A herb grinder is a device - usually circular - that is used to chop herbs prior to smoking them. They are also known as tobacco grinders. The most popular herb grinders are circular with a top half that slots on to the top, allowing you to rotate and ‘grind’ the herbs sandwiched in the middle compartment.
A herb grinder is constructed from two halves with sharp teeth that meet in the middle. When herbs are placed inside and the halves are turned in opposite directions the herb is ground up.
Herb grinders can be made from a variety of materials. Most commonly they are made from wood or acrylic, but it is also possible to buy metal ones.
Essentially the answer is no. When you grind any material, you are increasing its surface area which means it will burn more evenly and the oxygen surrounding it will enable you to get a better hit. Gram for gram, ground materials are more potent than bulky, unground material.
There is a huge variety of grinders on the market from miniature ones that are only an inch across to the largest which are about four times the size. The only considerations that really matter are practical ones, namely, how much do you need to grind at any one time and how portable do you need the grinder to be.
As is the case with all equipment that can be classed as drug paraphernalia, grinders fall under the provision in law that it is an offence to supply equipment for providing or preparing a controlled drug. However, it's not enough that the object can be used in drug preparation: the person or business supplying must believe it is intended for such a use.
When it comes to wholesale grinders UK law is reasonably clear. If it is not illegal per se for a retailer to supply a grinder to a customer then the sale of bulk grinders, or even cannabis grinders wholesale, cannot be illegal.
There are pros and cons to all herb grinders. Wooden ones are popular but their teeth tend not to be very sharp and they can be hard to clean. Acrylic is easier to maintain but again they do not grind as well as they might. For the best results a metal grinder is probably the best choice. They are durable, easily cleaned and will grind quickly and thoroughly. The overall outcome won't be very different whichever type you choose.
