Dating is terrible as it is, but when you're a cannabis consumer, things can get a little but complicated.
Say you're on a first date and everything is going very well. You have genuine chemistry and a good rapport with your date, you have the same taste in movies and TV shows, and then you mention you like to smoke a joint or two after work.
SEE ALSO: Best hookup apps and sites
Suddenly, everything gets awkward because cannabis still has a negative stigma in some circles of society (despite the fact that it's been decriminalized in a handful of states across the country.) If only there was a way to meet singles who share your passions. Lucky for you, there are unique dating sites designed specifically for finding other people who smoke weed. If you're more into the mainstream dating sites (we're looking at you Match and Zoosk), then there are some things you can do to ensure you've established some common ground right off the bat. Hey, you might even meet that special someone who wants nothing more than to share a spliff with you.
Here are the best dating sites for cannabis enthusiasts and 420-friendly singles looking for love:
Large amount of users to meet • Laid back and low pressure
Easy to become overwhelmed by amount of messages and requests • Sifting through profiles takes a long time, be prepared
If you want an enormous user base that's open to anyone and everyone, Match.com is a good bet.
1. Match
The OG dating site that's open to anyone and everyone.- Free Version: Yes
- Three-month Subscription: $23.99/month
- Six-month Subscription: $20.99/month
- 1-year Subscription: $19.99/month
The gist: The big pull of using Match is that it's open to absolutely anyone and everyone, no matter your race, religion, sexual orientation, or whether or not you like to light up once in a while. This site sits somewhere in between Tinder and eHarmony, and ditches the swiping in favor of deeper connection from the get-go.
Why it works: Both Match's desktop and mobile versions are quite user-friendly and don't require a steep learning curve to meet "the one." While it isn't tailored to people who like to smoke pot, you're sure to find more than enough people on the service who are also cannabis connoisseurs like yourself. That's the magic of Match — there are so many people on the site, that you're bound to find someone who is similar to what you're looking for. (Match even claims that you're guaranteed to find that person in six months.) While receiving messages en masse can become overwhelming quickly, you'll find peace in the fact that people on the site take dating seriously. Match is not a hookup site: it's for people who want to find the person they'll spend the rest of their lives with — someone they can split a spliff with until the end of time.
The cost: Match does offer a free version of the service, but unfortunately, you can't do much with it. The site's paid options come in a few different subscription models:

Large community • Easy to use • Also good for making friends • Totally free
No matchmaking technology • Not everyone is looking to date
If you're looking for friends as well as dating, High There's large user base is great. Also, it's free!
The gist: is a dating app that appeals to cannabis users and enthusiasts. It promotes unity and a judgment-free space for the 420-friendly to meet and come together to experience the highs (and lows) of love. The social network touts its ease-of-use and wide user base, while it claims to be the #1 social and dating app in the cannabis industry.
The app is very easy to use and set up with a Facebook account. Once inside of the app, your Facebook photo is already uploaded with the option to add four more. You are then only given five questions about your personality, cannabis consumption, and what you’re looking for when it comes to matches before you can start meeting and chatting other like-minded singles.
Why it works: High There! is often said to be the "Tinder for weed smokers" because it’s pretty similar in mechanics. You scroll through other users on the app who are in your area and you simply give them a "High There!," which means you’re interested in connecting with them. You can pretty much chat with anyone on the app, even if they don’t match with you. You just have to approve them to actually start chatting. Be warned though: People on High There! aren’t necessarily there to look for dates, they’re also there to meet other cannabis consumers for friendship and smoking buddies.
The cost: is free to download with no in-app purchases.

Huge user base • Advanced matchmaking tech • Ability to search for 420-friendly users
Not specifically made for 420 users
If you're serious about finding someone, OkCupid's advanced matchmaking tech paired with search features could work the best.
3. OkCupid
OkCupid lets you search using terms like "420," and everyone's on it.- Basic plan: Free
- A-List 1 month: $19.99/month
- A-List 3 months: $14.99/month
- A-List 12 months: $9.99/month
The gist: The tried and true dating site has been matching singles online since 2004. Let’s face it, after Facebook and Instagram, is one of the most popular social networks for singles of all ages. Most singles are on OkCupid, so it makes sense that if you want to cast a wide net to find other like-minded singles, then this dating site is for you. In fact, after you break up with someone, one of the first apps you should download to get over them is OkCupid. However, unlike most dating sites, OkCupid has a great search feature that makes it really easy to find the 420-friendly folks on there.
Why it works: The signup process on OkCupid is quite long. After you fill out information about your physical appearance, education, and political and religious beliefs, you’re then asked to fill out a lengthy survey on your personality, sexual orientation and kinks, lifestyle, dating, and ethics. The more questions you answer, the better chance you have of matching with someone special. It’s recommended that you fill out at least 100 questions to get the most out of the platform. After you fine tune your profile and upload a few photos, you’re ready to match with waiting singles. You can even refine your preferences and simply search for keywords in people’s profiles, such as "420," "weed," and "cannabis." Since OkCupid's pool of users is so widespread, there’s a greater chance you'll match with someone you actually like.
The cost: is free to download and use. However, the dating site has a premium service called "A-List" where you can access more features like "ghosting," refined searches, and no ads. The price scale is below:

Free, with in-app purchases
Oddly, it has two totally separate desktop and mobile sites • Lots of dead profiles
Easy to sign up, but it's best to choose between the website and the app, because they are completely separate for some reason.
4. 420 Singles
420 Singles is easy to use and mostly free, but start by choosing either the app or desktop versions, because they're completely separate.- Desktop version: Free
- App: Free, with in-app purchases
The gist: Launched in 2011, boasts that it is "a place to meet single people in the cannabis community looking for love." The social network is a very 420-friendly dating site where like-minded people can find soulmates and smoking buddies alike. The idea behind the site is for people to find someone special who won’t reject them for being a cannabis enthusiast, whether it be smoking, vaping, or eating edibles.
Unlike traditional dating sites, puts cannabis front and center in finding matches without any judgment or prejudice. However, the big drawback is the dating site features two separate platforms for desktop and mobile, which means you have to sign up for both with two different logins and set-up processes. It’s kind of a pain, but 420 Singles believes it just doubles your chances to find someone special to get high with.
Why it works: On the app, sign up is pretty easy with your Facebook account. Once you’ve created a profile, you can set who you’re looking for, age range, and distance up to 1,000 miles, which seems a little excessive TBH. When that’s done, you can start "liking" and "unliking" potential matches in a Tinder-like way.
Set up on the website takes a bit longer with additional questions about whether you believe in ghosts, if you’re a gamer or not, if you believe in UFOs, and if you believe in the existence of the human soul. knows its audience, so the questions are very eccentric. In addition, both platforms seem to be riddled with inactive profiles without photos or bios.
Navigating the app is much easier than the website, but there are additional channels like "groups" and "forums" to interact with the whole community instead of just a single user at a time. But it’s really unnecessary to have two completely different platforms with different users under the same banner and company. If 420 Singles managed to merge the two, then they might have an interesting dating site on their hands for cannabis users.
The cost: is free to download for Android and iOS and also includes in-app purchases. The dating website is completely free to use.

Not a lot of fake or inactive profiles • Lets you choose by cannabis type of choice
The app isn't refined yet • Not free after the first 65 credits
This service does provide some matchmaking tech, but the app needs a little work.
5. My 420 Mate
It's not totally free like some other services, but My 420 Mate does feature some matchmaking tech.- First 65 credits: Free
- 77 credits: $4.99
- 420 credits: $10.99
- 1500 credits : $29.99
The gist: With the tagline, "Don’t be the lonely stoner, find your Mary Jane," has members in more than 80 countries and all 50 states. The company considers themselves as "The Cupids of Cannabis," so they created a platform for weed users to feel warm and comfortable without judgment. On My420Mate, it doesn’t matter who you are or what you do (the site boasts that professions like laborers, doctors, lawyers, and students are all present), you have a place to "meet, connect, and grow a relationship" on the dating site.
Why it works: My420Mate is actually a more "traditional" dating site than others in the cannabis industry. After you fill out a few questions about who you are, who you’re looking for, what’s your cannabis type of choice, and why you consume marijuana, you are then taken to your profile where you can search for matches. There are a lot of people using this site and it doesn’t appear to be full of fake and inactive profiles. Perhaps the promise of cannabis and smoking buddies is enough to make people come back and use the service again and again.
The app, on the other hand, is a little bit less intuitive. You still get the same functionality with the app as you did with the site, but it seems that the app can't refine matches based on location. I was looking for matches within 15 miles of my location and the app gave me matches who lived more than 2,000 miles away. There was also an option to find all members on the app, along with your search preferences.
The cost: is free to download for Android and iOS and also includes in-app purchases for credits for upgrades. The first 65 credits are free with the pay scale listed below:

Offers events, games, even job listings • Community vibe
No app • Dated interface • Not free to use
If you're looking for the whole 420 lifestyle and community, this site could be for you, but there's no app and it's not free.
6. Date 420 Friendly
It isn't free and doesn't have an app, but Date 420 Friendly does have events, games, and even job listings.- One month: $4.20
- One year: $21.00
The gist: With , you no longer have to feel awkward on a first date when you tell them that you enjoy consuming marijuana. That information is already disclosed once you join the site and start meeting people. The dating site is a welcoming environment for the lifestyle with members who partake in cannabis for recreational and medical purposes. Date420Friendly.com wants you to "enjoy the highs in life" by meeting new people, playing fun games, joining group discussions, and attending 420-friendly events and meet-and-greets. The site is also a resource for finding new jobs and works as a sort of classifieds page for the 420 community. If marijuana is a big part of your life, then is the dating site for you.
Why it works: Setting up a profile is pretty easy. After answering a few questions about yourself and outlining your interests, you select your relationship status and what you’re looking for on the site. Your options here are either companionship or romance. Then you select options for your occupation, income, education level, and marijuana habits. Once you upload a photo of yourself and write a quick headline and short bio, you’re taken to your dashboard, which feels very early 2000s — as if it was from the MySpace and Friendster era of social networking. Unfortunately, there is no mobile app available.
Signing up is free, but you really can’t do anything on the site, like searching for matches, viewing profiles, sending messages, or interacting with other users, until you upgrade your subscription. It seems like a big commitment to upgrade when you really don’t know if the dating site is worth using altogether. It’s just a big ask after signing up.
The cost: is free, but using the site requires premium access. A one-month subscription is $4.20 (of course it is), while one year is only $21. You can also pay for five months of access and get seven months for free.

You can filter and save searches
Lots of fake and inactive profiles • Pricey
Not as easy to find 420-friendly singles, and lots of fakes, but the app learns as you use it.
7. Zoosk
Zoosk has a large user base and the ability to save searches, but appears to have a lot of fake or inactive profiles, and is pricey.- 1 month: $29.95/month
- 3 months: $19.98/month
- 12 months: $12.49/month
The gist: started out as a Facebook application in 2007, but spun off into its own platform and mobile app. The dating site boasts more than 35 million singles spread throughout over 80 countries. It’s known for its ease of use in creating an account and its modern design navigation.
Instead of filling out long and tedious questionnaires about your personality and potential match, Zoosk simply takes the information from your Google or Facebook account and plugs it into your online dating profile, along with your photo. The dating site doesn’t want you to spend your time filling out questionnaires, but rather it wants you to start matching and meeting new people — in this case, those in the 420-friendly community.
Why it works: Zoosk caters to almost all communities by keeping their user base big and robust. While they don’t explicitly have a "420" setting in search, you can filter your matches to find people who are cannabis-friendly like you. Zoosk offers customized searches that feature options for "smokes regularly," which is a strong indication for 420 consumption. You also have the ability to save your search settings, so you don’t have to fiddle around with options every time.
However, while Zoosk makes it easy to start a profile and search for matches, the online dating app is notorious for the amount of . It’s a good option or alternative for those who are frustrated with "traditional" online dating, but by no means is it a complete replacement. Finding your perfect match on Zoosk might be easy, but actually meeting or chatting with them might be a different story.
The cost: is free to use and download, but you need a premium subscription to search, message, and really do anything more than browse potential matches. The price scale is below:

Large user base • Lots of features • Chemistry questionnaire is surprisingly decent
Site is very ugly • Site is so ugly that we need to say it again
A spammy-looking website hurts the experience, but AdultFriendFinder is still effective for those just looking to have some fun.
8. AdultFriendFinder
If you're just looking for some fun, this is the place (don't mind the terrible site layout).- Free Version: Yes
- One month of GOLD: $30
- Three months of GOLD: $20/month
- One year of GOLD: $15/month
The gist: If you don't mind a little bit of sketchiness, AdultFriendFinder might work for you. The site looks like an outdated porn ad, but in practice, you can find a hookup in a pinch. Stoners, there's probably someone here for you, too. Don't feel pressured to meet anyone on the site, as it can also be an alternative for some light sexting and raunchy video sharing if that's what you're into. Be wary of unsolicited nudes and dick pics you didn't ask for, and maybe the occasional computer virus.
Why it works: There are so many options for satisfaction on AdultFriendFinder that you shouldn't have any trouble finding a good time. And hey, the compatibility survey they offer isn't too bad (which you probably wouldn't expect from the look of things). It's quick and easy to find a good hookup — and maybe even some half-baked pillow talk.
The cost: AdultFriendFinder offers a free version, but if you want to splurge for their paid subscriptions...

Safer than AdultFriendFinder (but still kind of NSFW) • Find flirty users from across the globe
Lots of unwanted ads • Small amount of users that are highly dispersed
iHookup is better for long-distance flirtationships, but sometimes, that's exactly what you want.
9. iHookup
You're not going to find more than a long-distance sexting partner, but if that's what you're looking for, use iHookup.- Free Version: Yes
- Silver Membership: $29.99/month
- Gold Membership: Starts at $34.99/month
The gist: The name is kind of self-explanatory. You use iHookup if you're looking for a no-strings-attached connection that'll fill the partner-shaped hole in your life. Not as porn-y as AdultFriendFinder, but just the right amount of risqué and effective in almost the same way (not as large of a user base to pick from). You'll find more face pics and dick pics, which is a welcome change for a hookup site, but you can still explore your raunchy side whenever you want. The biggest downside is that iHookup's already small community is heavily dispersed across the world, so the most you'll get from it is a long-distance sexting mate (which may not be so bad if that's what you want).
Why it works: iHookup works for a very specific type of hookup, but it plays well to its strengths (ie. you can get stoned and chat with potential partners without ever leaving the house). Just make sure to be a little more lenient with your search radius, or you might get stuck with a big fat "zero" on your match count.
The cost: iHookup has a free version, but it's pretty bare-bones. If you want to experience all the site has to offer, check out their membership options below (unfortunately, they aren't cheap):

Interviews with a matchmaker for the personalized touch • Offers events and mixers • Focuses on the 420 community
Concierge service like this is pricey
Highly Devoted uses real matchmakers who interview you over Skype. It's a different approach, but one that is bound to be pricey.
10. Highly Devoted
Highly Devoted takes a personalized approach, interviewing you several times to help find your match. It's cool, but it will cost you.- Joining and filling out a form: Free
- Participation in personal matchmaking: You get a quote after filling out the form
The gist: Founded by cannabis consultant and life coach Molly Peckler, is a personalized matchmaking and dating service that caters to "smart, passionate, classy cannabis consumers who are tired of all the messy swipe apps and dating sites." The platform is mainly for the cannabis community and works to end the "stoner" stigma that complicates dating, especially if one person is a cannabis enthusiast and the other is not. The website touts, "If cannabis is an important part of your life, your relationship must reflect that."
Why it works: Highly Devoted is not an ordinary online dating service. Unlike Tinder or OkCupid, you’re not matching with singles on an app or website, but rather you’re getting a personalized match after a series of phone calls and Skype interviews with the cannabis company’s matchmakers. In that way, it’s more of a traditional matchmaker than online dating service. The service is interested in building your confidence and enhancing your life. Highly Devoted also offers cannabis socials and mixers that are aimed at upscale professionals in their network and database.
The cost: Joining is free. You have to fill out a Google Form for a consultation and screening. Afterwards, the service will give you a quote to continue.

Matches you with friends of friends, so no fakes or randos • Designed to start relationships and reduce ghosting • You can identify as 420 under "vices" • 3-month free trial
No way to actually search for 420-friendly users
If you're looking for something real, Hinge could help, and the 3-month free trial should tell you what you need to know.
11. Hinge
If you're looking for a relationship, Hinge's 3-month free trial should tell you what you need to know.- First 3 months: Free
- 1 month: $12.99/month
- 3 months: $6.99/month
- 6 months: $4.99/month
The gist: While there are plenty of more "classic" dating apps out there that will work well for those in the cannabis community, separates itself from the bunch as the only "relationship app" that matches singles. Hinge as a very low-pressure dating app that focuses on fun information and photos instead of the swiping model. In fact, Hinge profiles even resemble an Instagram feed, with fun tidbits about you in between your photos. When you match with someone, Hinge prompts recipients with a "Your Turn" feature designed to keep the conversation going to decrease the possibility of "ghosting" someone — something that happens far too frequently on dating apps. Hinge wants singles to build relationships instead of hook ups or something casual.
Why it works: The is designed for more interaction and engagement than any other other dating app. There’s no series of photos, names, and ages to swipe, or traditional bios to comb through, but rather it’s designed to give a little piece of information about a potential match as you go through a profile. In fact, you’re only presented with matches who are friends of friends on your Facebook page, so you don’t have to worry about fakes or randoms infesting your inbox. Hinge encourages you to scroll through entire profiles before you make a decision to "like" or "dislike." While you can’t search for 420-friendly matches, it features a section for "vices," including alcohol, smoking, marijuana, and harder drugs. In addition, revealing you’re a cannabis enthusiast might increase your chances of receiving matches by 10 percent — only if you’re under 25 years old, according to . However, if you’re over 25, then your likes might decrease by 25 percent. A predilection for weed led to the percentage of likes to decrease to 35 percent for those 40 or older. (The more you know.)
The cost: is free to download and all new members get a three-month free trial. Afterwards the app will push you to subscribe to continue. The price scale is below:

Helps you find friends in the cannabis community • Helps you find local events
Not specifically a dating app • No ability to search by gender/orientation
Social High is a great free app for the cannabis community, and while its dating features are limited, you might get lucky.
The gist: is a social network for passionate cannabis enthusiasts. It’s an app that can help you find and discover other like-minded people in your area to share your excitement and enjoyment of cannabis and marijuana. Think of Social High as the Facebook for the 420-friendly, where you can find reviews and explore strains (powered by Leafly), discussions of medicinal breakthroughs, share personal experiences, find local events, and use the platform’s "WeedCast" to connect publicly or privately with fellow buds for friendship and romance. While Social High isn’t exclusively a dating platform, the app has features to help you find that special someone who enjoys cannabis, just like you.
Why it works: The app works like a Facebook feed, only you don’t have to be friends with someone to see their story or posts. Everything you post on Social High is public in "Weedcast," but you can set preferences to limit who can see what you post. There are channels that are private and secure, so you don’t have to worry about who is reading your messages. You can connect between a 10-mile or global radius to reach out to people who live up the block or around the world. You can also look for nearby people.
However, there is no way to search users based on gender or sexual preference, but each profile has a "relationship status" section, so you will always know who’s single or in a relationship. While the platform isn’t as feature heavy as some other dating apps for the 420-friendly like , its user base is pretty robust with active users looking to connect and build a thriving online community of cannabis consumers.
The cost: is free to download with no in-app purchases.

Why it works: The best part about EliteSingles is that it can usually find someone within your picky parameters of you want to date. Their five-factor personality test uses high-grade algorithms to find you a compatible mate, and you'll even have access to your own compatibility rating compared to the people you're searching for.
