I guess, but I use the mighty capsules.
I use it for ease of bowl replacement during a session but it's a form of dosage control or monitoring at least in some regard. also quick to go from zero to hero if I have some prepacked for the day.
topping them off with concentrates when we want more of a kick or make the bowl last longer is also easy.
packing the stem is more messy and harder to repack between sessions IMHO.
