Dating Services That Connect Singles Using Cannabis
NEW YORK TIMES - Apr 21 - "Cannabis is almost an analogy for being authentic," said Ms. Peckler, the founder of Highly Devoted in LA, an online matchmaker that connects cannabis-using singles. "If this is a part of your life, then you should be honest about that, especially if you're trying to start a romantic relationship with someone." The My420Mate and High There are two of the other dating services that connect people based on their mutual affection for cannabis. Ms. Peckler thought of the idea for Highly Devoted after meeting her husband when smoking with him and his friends while attending the University of Illinois. She worked as a matchmaker in Chicago, followed by a job with a cannabis consultation firm that advised medical and recreational marijuana dispensaries in emerging markets. She formed Highly Devoted in 2015.
