There is a dating app for just about any niche group these days, High There! being the latest version. It targets weed smokers in an attempt to connect them with like-minded individuals. Working similarly to Tinder, people simply need to press 'next' to pass on a person's profile or 'connect' to get in touch.
Of course, the High There! app also serves another purpose. Todd Mitchem writes that if also targets the "cancer patient who needs friends and support, the guy who lands in Denver and does not know where people go to buy great products legally, they can also connect. Just the other day I connected with a dude and talked back and forth for a while about life, weed, and built a friendship."
