Talk about a daily smoke, the odd edible or CBD only as easily as music or food. Nobody here will be surprised on date three.

420 Singles vs Hinge: Dating When Cannabis Matters
A fair look at a big mainstream app and a site built for 420 friendly grown-ups. 18+ only.
Two good ways to meet someone, for different needs
Hinge suits people who want a huge mainstream pool and are happy to treat cannabis as one profile detail among many. 420 Singles suits grown-ups who want cannabis out in the open from the first hello, with free ID and video checks and matches that weigh lifestyle habits. If cannabis is part of your everyday life, start here.
What Hinge does well
Hinge is one of the big mainstream dating apps, owned by Match Group, the company behind Tinder and OkCupid too. It deserves credit for treating cannabis as a normal part of adult life. Its profiles have a "My Vices" section that covers drinking, smoking, marijuana and drugs, so you can say where you stand, and subscribers on Hinge+ and HingeX can filter their matches by marijuana and drugs.
If you are open to dating people who don't use cannabis, or you only partake now and then and don't want it front and center, a mainstream app with a field like that can work well.

Where 420 Singles shines
Skip the awkward reveal and get to the good part
When the site is built for 420 friendly dating, how you unwind is just another thing you have in common.
Matches that understand lifestyle
Your daily suggestions balance location and age with the relationship you're looking for, your interests and your habits, smoking included.
Grown-ups who know what they want
The great majority of members are 35 or over. Tell us if you want a steady partner or new friends first, and your matches take it into account.
Free ID and video checks
Genuine profiles earn a verified badge by passing a free ID check or a live video check run by a moderator, with AI age checks and profile moderation behind the scenes.
Why a shared outlook makes dating easier
Cannabis is more common than it used to be, but it is still far from universal. According to Gallup in 2026, 17% of US adults say they smoke marijuana, up from 7% in 2013. So on a mainstream app, most of the people you meet won't share that part of your life, even if many are relaxed about it.
That matters more than it sounds. A 2021 eharmony and YouGov survey found that 58% of US adults would be fine knowing a potential partner used marijuana, which is encouraging, but it still leaves a lot of people who might not be. On 420 Singles you can skip the guessing and spend that first conversation on the things that make you click.
Feel at ease while you get to know someone
Members know you only by a username. Your real name, email and address stay private, and your profile shows nothing more precise than your nearest town. If someone oversteps, block or report them in one tap. Our safety page has advice for meeting in person, and the features page lists every tool.
Nobody buys or sells anything through 420 Singles: it's for meeting people. Laws differ by state and country, so only use cannabis if it is legal where you live, never drive after using it, and never pressure a date to join in.
Choose the one that fits your life
Choose Hinge if you want the widest mainstream pool and cannabis is a small part of who you are. Choose 420 Singles if you want a partner or friend who already shares your outlook, among grown-ups, with nothing to install: it runs in your browser, and our 420 dating app page shows how to add it to your home screen.

Your questions about Hinge and 420 dating
Can you say you are 420 friendly on Hinge?
Yes. Hinge profiles have a "My Vices" section with a Marijuana option, as of October 2026, so you can show where you stand.
Can I filter by marijuana on Hinge?
Hinge keeps the Marijuana and Drugs filters for its subscribers on Hinge+ and HingeX. On 420 Singles there is no need for a filter, because being 420 friendly is the point of the site.
Is there a Tinder for weed smokers?
Mainstream apps vary in how much room they give cannabis on a profile, and you may still have to explain yourself to each match. Plenty of people mention it in their bio. On 420 Singles cannabis is out in the open from the start, so the conversation begins in a better place.
Is 420 Singles only for people who smoke?
No. Daily smokers, people who prefer edibles or CBD, and people who don't use cannabis but are happy if a partner does are all welcome. Being 420 friendly comes in more than one form.
Who owns Hinge?
Hinge is owned by Match Group, which also owns Tinder and OkCupid.
