High There! Weed smokers get their own dating app, dubbed 'Tinder for stoners'
    #21243337 - 02/08/15 11:44 AM (9 years, 3 months ago)

http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/high-there-weed-smokers-get-their-own-dating-app-dubbed-tinder-for-stoners-10028815.html


Cannabis smokers in the United States will be able to make new friends using a new stoner-focused dating app recently launched.

The app, called High There!, is only available in US states that have either decriminalised the drug or made it available for medical use. The app’s creator says he started the service because he found it difficult maintain relationship kindled on mainstream dating websites.

“I hated dating on other sites and apps because as soon as the idea of my cannabis consumption came up—date over. I actually walked out of a date (after paying of course) and said to myself, that’s it,” the company’s CEO Todd Mitchem told the Fast Company blog Co.Exist.

High There! is similar to the popular dating app Tinder in that it attempts to match two people based on their preferences and location. It also includes filters for levels of cannabis consumption and drug preferences, however.

“Just the other day I connected with a dude and talked back and forth for a while about life, weed, and built a friendship,” he added.

The app is currently only available on the Google Play app store for Android phones, and does not yet have an iOS version for iPhones.

Cannabis is legal for at least medical use in 23 of the 50 US states plus Washington DC.

The US state of Colorado was the first to completely legalise the consumption and sale of marijuana last year.

There is scientific evidence that cannabis consumption can be helpful for certain medical conditions, the British-born US Surgeon General Dr Vivek Murthy, said this week.

Cannabis is illegal in the United Kingdom and possession can be punished by up to five years in prison, an unlimited fine or both.

People who sell the drug in the UK can receive up to 14 years in prison.

I love smoking weed, but I would never use this app. It's probably populated by people who see being a stoner as a major aspect of their identity. I've never understood why some people are like this.

Anyway, who cares if your prospective partner smokes weed or not? Once she gets to know you and decides she thinks you're awesome despite your weed habit, she'll get curious about it and want to enjoy it with you.

^ That's way too optimistic. Many people are very stuck in their ways about substances, and a lot of people's personality are borne of the types of substances (including food) they consume. Better to just find someone who you see eye to eye with from the start.

It's not that it's a major aspect, it's that it's a lifestyle choice which is somewhat taboo and culty. It's a dealbreaker for a lot of people that see weed as no different from hard drugs. I know I'm very unlikely to get involved with a girl that drinks a lot and never engages in any psychedelic use...it's usually a pretty strong indicator of where someone's focus in life is. That said, there's a lot of types of marijuana users that I would be equally turned off by.

I'm engaged to a girl that does no drugs whatsoever and has no history of it. A lot of times opposites attract.

It can happen, sure. Often that's not the case, though, hence niche dating services of all types.

My wife has never tried drugs in her life. The closest she came to drugs, was a couple cups of alcohol a few times after we got married. Her family made alcohol look like a horrible, life destroying thing. After spending a couple years around my family, she realized that is actually ok if you can handle yourself.

She still is set in her ways of not doing any drugs, but at least she is ok with me making them. I try to not do them around her, or if I am high around her, I just act like I'm sober. Wouldn't want her to feel uncomfortable.

Sounds like a hell of a woman. Better to not do drugs at all than have a drug problem, I say.
