An apparatus and method for automatically preparing ground consumable plant material for smoking, wherein the apparatus can repeat the method quickly. The apparatus comprises an outer shell which protects the separating unit which is configured to hold the raw consumable material while simultaneously pushing micro bits of ground consumable material through small apertures, thus extracting all unwanted raw material. The separation unit further comprises a screen which the ground consumable material rolls over to aid in the collection of the consumable pollen. While the outer shell further comprises a funnel to aid in the delivery of the ground consumable material to a smoking device.

A system 400 for obtaining a substance from a commodity has a first apparatus 420 with first 422 and second 424 openings, a device 426 for moving the commodity through the first apparatus, and at least one blade 428 for shearing the commodity. The at least one blade 428 is positioned between the first opening 422 and the second opening 424. A second apparatus 440 has a first opening 442 and a second opening 444, with the first opening 442 being fluidly connected to the second opening 424 of the first apparatus 420. The second apparatus 440 includes a device 446 for moving the sheared commodity from the second apparatus first opening 442 to the second opening 444. A third apparatus 460 obtains the substance from the sheared commodity, including a separator 460 having a first opening 462 fluidly connected to the second opening 444 of the second apparatus 440.
