420 Dating Is Now a Thing

0


It appears to us that nearly half the online dating profiles out there express affinity for long walks on the beach. The other half seem to say, “420 friendly,” at least in L.A. Los Angeles marijuana entrepreneur Miguel Lozano noticed that too, and this year he launched cannabis dating site my420mate.com with partner Jay Lindberg.
Lozano, a clothier who helped to organize the Bong Olympics way back when and who plans a 20-year anniversary of that event soon, says his was the world’s first pot dating platform. He says it’s also the most prominent. A Google search seems to prove that: It comes out on top.


The lifestyle dating platform launched in spring, and Lozano and company are now working on its first major marketing campaign, which will include billboards in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Jose and Sacramento.
Engineers for my420mate are also working on a version two of the site and app that will likely roll out in December, he said.
So far there are only 11,000 users, but the founder said it’s adding about 100 new people each day. The geography of ganja love is global, but Lozano admits that, so far, most of the profiles on his site are for people from marijuana-legal states like California, Colorado and Washington.
