Should I have done this?
I just dropped a jar of Tahoe OG that shattered into a million pieces and I made my gf throw it away because I didn't really want to smoke tiny particles of glass into my lungs. She was like I'd smoke this all day and all night. Who was right and wrong here?

Had it been me that dropped a jar of Tahoe OG, my tears would have washed all the glass away.
But seriously, I suppose it depends on how you smoke it.
Roll a joint? Maybe not, unless you picked the largest buds and crumbs out of the crash and were able to clean them off well enough, then rolled a filter into the joint. A water bong would filter any glass dust, I would think. Just hit it slower than normal, i.e. don't rip any hits while smoking it. A pipe? No, unless you could put a filter in it somehow.
If you can shrug off the loss, then I say "why take the chance?" but in my circumstance, I would be digging out as much as I could reasonably get then using a filter of some kind to make sure no little shards got through.
I had already ground it so it was going to be really tough to filter it. The pieces of glass were tiny. I'm really sad because I loved that strain.
Bummer
That is a tragedy. I will burn a fatty of Jaeger for you when my order comes in by Thursday (I hope) That's all I can do, man. :'-(
I'd put in the "oil bag" and do a wash with warm coconut oil, filter with a coffee filter, heat gently for an hour or two for decarb purposes, then freeze or allow to solidify. Because my GI tract is a nightmare hellscape, I can't ingest "edibles," so I convert a portion of my stash to oils. I rub a couple spoonfuls on my body every day, making me smell as nutty as my words and appearance make me look.
You did the right thing. F
Why grind up a jarful ahead of time? I like keeping mine in buds till I smoke it. Seems to keep it fresher. Actually, when the order comes often it's compressed into one tight little "mini brick" from the vacuum sealing and I just pull off a chunk as I smoke it. Plus I keep it tightly wrapped in a baggie inside a jar. So it would have been a non issue for me.
Use a bong.
@JaymeeG For each strain, I have two jars. One is a mason jar that I vacuum seal with a FoodSaver, which is where I keep the buds. I have another small jar that I keep 3-4 grams of ground buds in that I fill a bowl from. The small jar is what broke. This wasn't a major catastrophe because it wasn't that much, but it was all I had left of that strain which I loved.
@Thisguy I'm a moron. I haven't used my bong in ages because I hate it, but it definitely would have filtered the glass. I forgot I even had it!
