Why 420 dating, mate?
Plenty of Australians are relaxed about cannabis, but it's still not something you'd necessarily drop into a first message on a mainstream app. Pot Dating takes the guesswork out: here, cannabis-friendly is the default, so you can be upfront and get on with the yarn.
Whether you're in Sydney or Perth, Brisbane or Hobart, Darwin or Adelaide, or somewhere with more kangaroos than cafes, the idea's the same: meet people who won't raise an eyebrow. It suits people who are after something serious and people who'd just like to see where a good chat goes. Either way, you're starting from common ground instead of a nervous guess.
A word on the rules
Cannabis laws in Australia aren't the same everywhere. They differ between states and territories, and medicinal and recreational use are treated differently. We don't give legal or medical advice, so check the rules where you live. Pot Dating is for meeting people, not buying or selling anything.
Getting started
- Make your profile. A few good photos and a short bio. One line on where you stand with cannabis is plenty.
- Have a browse. Look through profiles and your daily match suggestions.
- Say g'day. You can send a limited number of messages a day, and a paid membership adds more. Memberships are shown in Australian dollars (A$) on our membership page.
There's more on how it works.
First-date ideas that suit an Aussie arvo
Keep the first date simple and public, and keep it short enough that either of you can leave politely if there's no spark. An hour or two is plenty. If it goes well, you can always plan a longer second date. A coastal walk that finishes at a kiosk, a night market, a pub trivia night, a local footy match or a gig at a small venue all give you something to chat about. Save quieter nights in for when you know each other. For more, see our 420 date ideas.
If you're cannabis-friendly but don't partake yourself, have a read of dating a stoner when you don't smoke.
City or country, it works the same way
Australia is big, and dating in a capital city is different from dating in a regional town. In the cities you may have more people nearby, so it pays to be specific in your profile about what you're after and which suburbs you can easily get to. Out in the regions, distances are longer, so it's worth chatting a bit more before you meet, and planning a first date somewhere halfway that suits you both.
Wherever you are, a bit of Aussie directness helps. Say what you're looking for, whether that's something casual, a long-term partner or just good company for a Sunday arvo, and how cannabis fits into your week. Plenty of people reply better to a clear, friendly profile than a clever one. And if you're travelling or about to move interstate, mention it, so matches know where you'll be.
Staying safe
Members must be 18 or over. Verification is optional, but members can choose ID and video checks, so look for them before you meet. Keep the chat on the site until you're comfortable, meet somewhere public, organise your own way home and let a mate know where you'll be. Never drive after using cannabis. If anyone makes you uneasy, block or report them. More on our safety page.
