How about a coffee grinder? Or mortar and pestle.

chopping board and chef's knife
How about getting an older friend to go to the head shop and buy one for $5 since you're clearly under 18?
Or just use scissors.

Chewing will grind it up good.
Maybe a pepper mill would work for grass.

I just use a shotglass and a pair of sharp scissors. That works just as well as a grinder.
I ground down an oz w/ a mortar and pestle once... but I think some of the thc was squeezed out into the granite so I don't do that anymore.

ya that's what I was gonna say about that method also. the ceramic ones are great for grinding up pills, but i have yet to find a plant material that works well in any kind of one.
coffee grinder you better be grinding up atleast an ounce to make it worthwhile, cause quite a bit of the good stuff is gonna cling to the walls of the chamber. I guess you could go back and rinse it out w/some kinda solvent and get a small amount of crude hash though.
OP what method of smoking are you wanting to use the pot for? bong, pipe, rolling joints, somethin else? I'd have to agree with the pepper grinder thing. Just go to a few different stores and find one that seems like the best design for softer materials. If you have an organic grocery store in your area that'd be ur best bet, cause they always have more specialty items like that. I beleive the Whole Foods in my area sells an "herb grinder" that is almost just like the ones you'd buy at a headshop. its for bigger amts of material like 1-2 ounces, but I think itd work fine for an eighth or whatever too.

I made mine out of sheetmetal that I shaped into a round box that unclips into two halves. I just drilled and tapped a bunch of 5mm x 10mm screws that i had ground flats onto all bar 2mm of the thread into the sheetmetal, and when you clip the sides back together there is a slot them lets you rotate them 60 degrees or so. It does the job.

Something like this (http://www.zoneutopia.com/images/grinderboissm.jpg) would be very easy to carve out if you had access to a wood lathe (or even a large drill press) and a caliper. Drill out holes for the nails and glue them in the specific pattern (drill them out so pounding doesnt crack the wood).
you should go buy a nice one with a screen so you can get keef.

Okay, I made a simple wood one, well actually this is the 2nd one, but I'm having a problem lining up the teeth correctly, I obviously don't have a grinder to base it off of. I need a way to make it so the teeth wont hit.
Any idea ?

Draw concentric circles. Where did you get lost?
