Often, cannabis enthusiasts want to date other smokers, or at least get to know them in a social capacity. But online dating isn’t for everyone, and often, it is helpful to have a community of people around you before you move into the romantic realm. Here are a few great ways to meet other cannabis enthusiasts in your area.
Go to a Legalization or Support Event
If you live in a legal or medical state, there are probably events all the time that either rally behind the cause of cannabis, support local cannabis employees and patients, or support the passing or opposing of a new amendment. Even if you live in a non-legal state, there may be rallies for legalization or patient’s rights. These events are a great way to meet new people in your area who are smokers. Simply turn left or right at any of the events to spark up a conversation, and you are sure to meet some like-minded individuals.
Find Smoking Clubs in Your Area
Not even all legal cities have cannabis clubs, but those that do have managed to create an absolute oasis for smokers in the city. Rather than going to the bar to meet new friends, you can commune with other smokers instead of people drinking alcohol. Everyone in the clubs will have something in common, and what’s more, they don’t carry the stigma of bars, where everyone is expected to be out on the prowl looking for a mate.
Talk to Your Local Budtender
No, don’t try and befriend your budtender; they are busy, and just like your bartender, everyone wants to be their friend. But, budtenders are a great resource for finding great cannabis things to do in the city. There will be fliers at your local dispensary, and the employees there may know of some meet ups or events that are a little lower-key and aren’t being publicly advertised.
Find “Green Light Districts”
In legal places, finding an area that is mostly dispensaries, head shops, and cannabis clubs is a great way to make other smokers. These areas are great, because you can simply walk next door if one place does not suit your flavor. Make sure not to loiter, but feel free to hang out in shops you patronize, or local restaurants, to see where all the smokers are congregating.
Check Out Cannabis Message Boards
Even if something like online dating is not your speed, the internet can still be a valuable resource for meeting people in real life. Follow cannabis boards and facebook pages to find out about local events and parties in your area.
