There’s no shortage of specialist dating sites on offer, from PURRsonals for cat lovers to Uniform Dating for fans of those in uniforms.

However, Monkey was surprised to read on Mashable that a marijuana user from Denver has created a smartphone app to help cannabis lovers to hook up with each other.

It reports that Todd Mitchem created the High There app after his matches on dating sites were put off by the fact that he was a pot smoker.



“We wanted to build a cool piece of technology that solved the problem of where do million and millions of cannabis consumers go to meet people, connect with people and build relationships,” Mitchem told Mashable. “A lot of people say we’re the Tinder of weed, but that’s only one facet of the whole thing. It’s so much bigger.”

Mitchem stressed that the site isn’t just for dating but could, for example, help cancer patients meet other users of medical marijuana.

The free app is available in the US on the Android store and will soon make its debut on Apple’s App Store. However, it is available only in the 23 states where marijuana is legal, decriminalised or can be used for medical purposes.



Monkey hopes it will lead to smoking passions among weed smokers.
