It’s being touted as the”Tinder for tokers”, a dating app called High There! that caters to a specifically 4-20 friendly demographic.
“On traditional dating sites cannabis use is often considered a romantic non-starter,” said High There!’s CEO Darren Roberts.
“Much like how some singles swear off dating cigarette smokers, but compounded by the stigma of decades of prohibition.”

“I think that mind and body connection is the beautiful part that cannabis really touches.”
