Maybe you need one of these:

The pollenators contain a grinding mechanism and a screen (available with
different fineness) for making a powder.

These grinders can be found in a pot shop* and are used to make hash*.

*Note:

A pot shop is not a place where you might get cookware, such as The Pot Shop of
Boston.
Hash is not something you ordinarily eat, it's something you smoke.

Would Krups grinder work ?

I presume you mean a Krups blade coffee grinder. I believe that's what one of
the other posters mentioned (though not a brand). I don't have one myself, but
I'd think one would work fine. Here's a link to one of the Krups models and it
mentions using it on spices:

No one has mentioned this yet, but to get a powder, you have to dry the herbs
first. I'm pretty sure you can mince fresh herbs in the Krups grinder, but of
course you won't end up with a powder.

If I need things ground fine, I use a mortar and pestle.

If salt is a part of the recipe, you may want to consider adding the salt to
the mortar bowl. It works like an abrasive & helps mash up the wet or dry
herb. Don't smoke the salt mixture though...
