I keep getting made fun of by my smoking friend for how I hold them. It just feels more comfortable to hold them between your index and middle fingers like a cigarette rather than pinching it with your index and thumb. And it seems easier to control how much air reaches your mouth when you're drawing.
Lemmy doesn't have built-in polls, so sound off. How are you holding yours?

makes sense if you handrolling, you would keep finger and thumb that rolled them together, If ya let off it's gonna spring open.
i am but a pampered city child who was born into the land of legal weed and just buys prerolls out of laziness.

Oh I have easy access to wonderfully legal pre rolls, but rolling my own is soothing and ritualistic. I absolutely love doing so

Sounds like your friend's too young to smoke.

I use a vaporizer and I don't care how you hold your joint. Just don't let it fall to the ground, don't burn yourself and you are good.
Assassassin@lemmy.dbzer0.com · 3 pts · 205d
Either or, the weed works the same either way.

Only a barbarian would hold a joint like a cigarette. But who cares really? Be yourself, get high the way you want.
Jakeroxs@sh.itjust.works · 3 pts · 205d
Lol you can usually tell what people smoked first on how they hold a cig or joint.
I think the reason why most use index/thumb for joints is from manually rolling them vs cigs where there's a filter and such, as it keeps it together better/prevents scooby snacks.
Fizz@lemmy.nz · 3 pts · 205d
In between my fingers but with my hand in a ball and the joint resting on my fingers. Its gremliny but comfortable. Its similar to how the guy smokes in tarkovsy's stalker movie smokes (just watched it last night)

Your friend is a child. Ignore them.

Thumb and index, palm facing out. Interestingly my brother does thumb and index, palm facing in.
Honestly though, nobody should care about something so superficial.
Hadriscus@jlai.lu · 2 pts · 205d
I've been made fun of for the same reason ! that was years ago, I was somewhat more impressionable. I did care a little. I stopped caring some time later, by virtue of wising up.
I don't smoke anymore, I don't even vape in fact - I order gummies from the shop. But back when I did ? I'd say it was a 50-50 mix between index+middle and index+thumb.

I do it ciggie style.
EyIchFragDochNur@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 205d
Your friend has a crush on you.
And it's between index and middle because I'm not a pirate or wannabe
Codilingus@sh.itjust.works · 2 pts · 205d
Next time make a middle finger, and hold it between your middle finger and curled index finger.
OldChicoAle@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 205d
I hold it differently every time. Do you, boo.
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 205d
If you care you're not high enough.

Every way possible depending on the situation and how far down it’s burnt.
