I basically offer the back of my hand to any dog that wants to sniff it.
If they seem amenable to petting I go with “safe” back of the head petting and try to gauge their approval rating. Assuming their owner and the dog seem comfortable with it they then get the ol side of the chest patting.
I fuckin love dogs.
I am so glad I switched to edibles for weed and quit smoking/vaping nicotine entirely. My room/clothing no longer stink of pot. My hands don’t smell like pot. My breath doesn’t smell like pot.
I get that edibles don’t jive with everyone, but man they work great for me.
Also as many others have already stated it’s mostly just the structural rigidity of the cigarette vs the joint combined with the (still in some places) illegality of the joint that leads to the different holding methods.
