The best 420-friendly dating sites for finding a budding romance
We tried the best 420-friendly dating sites and apps. Because whether you're a casual smoker or a serious stoner, dating is hard enough.
Let's face it: Dating is hard. Swiping endlessly on the apps, blindly walking into a setup your friends promised would be "perfect" for you, and waiting in vain to meet someone organically can be disheartening. This is particularly true for those of us looking for a partner who's chill with cannabis.
Sure, recreational weed hasn't been legalized and/or decriminalized in every state, but you should be able to find someone with a mutual love for smoking a joint or enjoying an edible no matter where you live. (Life, and stoners, find a way.) That's why we've scoured the web to find the best 420-friendly dating sites and apps where you can connect with like-minded folks who enjoy cannabis just as much as you do.
Whether you've had that super awkward first date where you've suddenly become a criminal in the other person's eyes, or just want to skip the hassle of discussing it altogether, we've got you covered. A 420-friendly dating site will make your search for a canna-lover as stress-free as possible. So, pack your favorite strain and get ready to meet your match.
Cannabis culture and 420-friendly dating in 2023
Before we introduce you to the world of 420-friendly online dating, let's take a second to look at some facts.
As of Dec. 8, 2023, 23 states and the District of Columbia have legalized recreational marijuana. It's legal for medical use in 38 states and in Washington, D.C.
Approximately 88 percent of U.S. adults want to legalize weed for recreational and/or medical use, according to a Pew Research Center survey. Only 10 percent of participants said it shouldn't be legal under any circumstances.
Weed has the potential to improve your love life. A 2019 Match survey found that pot smokers were 151 percent more likely to be coupled up than nonsmokers. What's more, smokers were 109 percent more likely to have had multiple orgasms and had 3.6 percent more orgasms per sexual encounter compared to their abstaining peers.
More than filters: Finding a weed-friendly partner is easier than ever
By now, you're probably thinking: This is great, but how do I find the right dating site for me? Luckily, there are unique dating sites designed specifically for this purpose, including High There! and My420Mate. If you want to stick with more mainstream dating sites like Match, you can also just use their filters to find your ideal smoking buddy.
It's worth mentioning that you don't necessarily have to subscribe to anything — the best 420-friendly dating sites we've tried offer free tiers — though a basic, non-paid subscription will lock you out of certain features on most platforms. If you’re serious about finding new buds, it can be worth shelling out the cash for premium membership tiers that unlock more features and (theoretically) more or better matches. Consider your thirstiness alongside your budget.
