A grinder/manual defoliation device specifically adapted to separate soft foliage material from all stems and hard material such as seeds and hard plant nodules, including micro stems. The Defoliator has a unique top texture consisting of soft angles and flat surfaces, and a Screen area consisting of angular openings in the screen and a textured surface that when used in conjunction with the top texture together forms a complete defoliation system. Orienting the stems and hard material in a way so they may not pass through the screen, Even though the Defoliator is manually operated the device is operated with ease. It does not employ cutting blades, mulching designs or laser sharpened edges making the device safe for the consumer to use. This Defoliator is specifically designed for dried, cured and manicured Cannabis and herbal material such as saffron, rosemary, Basil or Bay leafs

A finger-operated herb grinder; the finger-operated herb grinder includes a grinder assembly having a top-platform and a mating bottom-platform connected by a connecting strap. The top-platform includes a top-grinding nodule and a finger retaining strap and the bottom-platform includes a bottom-grinding nodule, a hollow inner volume, a thumb retaining strap. A dispensing aperture is formed between the top-platform and the bottom-platform and is configured to dispense grinded-material therethrough. The top-platform and the bottom-platform are configured to slide in relation to each other and grind material positioned between the top-grinding nodule and the bottom-grinding nodule into fine particles.
