CHICAGO TRIBUNE – Feb 10 – According to Match.com's Singles in America survey, 70% of all singles said it's a turnoff if a potential romantic partner regularly smokes marijuana. OkCupid's 2016 data showed that ~50% of OkCupid users answered in the affirmative when asked, "Could you date someone who does drugs?" A number of cannabis-friendly dating sites and apps have gone online in recent years, including My420Mate and High There!. My420mate launched in 2014, and now has ~500k users. Free app High There! bills itself as a social network for the cannabis community. The app has attracted ~300k users, mostly in the U.S., since launching 18 months ago. Dating is only one component of the app. For a more personal touch, there's Molly Peckler, a former matchmaker who launched Highly Devoted in June 2015, a service offering cannabis-friendly life coaching and dating coaching services ranging in cost from $1k – $3k.
