Is Stoner Singles legit?

Yes. Stoner Singles is a real, operating dating site for cannabis-friendly singles, launched in 2025 and available across the UK, US, Australia, Ireland, Canada and New Zealand. It is free to join, the paid VIP tiers are optional, you can cancel anytime, and it runs optional ID and video verification with human moderation behind the scenes.

That is the short version. It is also a fair question to ask, because niche dating sites attract a fair amount of suspicion, and cannabis-related ones more than most. So rather than tell you to trust us, here is the detail you would actually check before handing over an email address: who is behind it, what it costs, how you leave, and where the honest weak spots are.

Who runs Stoner Singles, and since when?

Stoner Singles launched in 2025. It is run by Cassidy Locke, who writes about cannabis policy and culture and serves as the site's Editor-in-Chief. Her background is set out on the founder page if you want to see who is actually behind the name.

One thing worth knowing: it was built for the UK and US at the same time, not as an American site awkwardly retrofitted for a British audience. That is why pricing shows in pounds, dollars, euros and Australian dollars, and why the safety and privacy setup takes the UK's stricter attitude to cannabis into account.

Is Stoner Singles really free?

Yes, and the free tier is a real one, not a locked shop window. You can create a profile, browse other members and send and receive messages without paying anything. That covers what most people actually need to meet someone.

There are two optional paid tiers on top. VIP is £6.99 a month (with weekly and other-currency options) and adds read receipts, advanced filters and priority placement. VIP+ is £7.99 a month and stacks top-of-feed placement and a few convenience extras on top. Neither is required to message people or to match. The full breakdown is on the pricing page. If a "free" dating site ever turns out to charge you just to read your messages, that is a fair reason to be wary; this one does not.

How do you cancel or leave?

Cancelling is deliberately simple, which matters, because a site that makes it hard to leave is telling you something. You can cancel a paid subscription at any time from your account settings. It stays active until the end of the billing period you have already paid for, then it stops renewing and you are not charged again. Your free account stays put unless you decide to delete it, which you can also do from settings or by asking the support team.

How does it keep members safe?

This is where a lot of small dating sites fall down, so it is worth being specific about what is on offer. Members can take optional government-ID verification, which adds a visible Blue Tick badge, or do a live video check with a moderator instead if they would rather not share documents. Profiles show your nearest town or city rather than your address or live location.

Day to day, you can block anyone instantly so they can no longer see or contact you, and report a user or message straight from a conversation. The site also flags attempts to move you onto an outside app like WhatsApp before you have built any trust, which is one of the more common opening moves in a romance scam. Behind that, AI behaviour monitoring and human moderators screen profiles, photos and messages, and there is a 24/7 support team reachable by chat, phone and message. The full list is on the safety page.

None of that makes any platform risk-free. The usual rules still apply: do not send money to someone you have not met in person, keep chatting on the site until you genuinely trust the other person, and report anything that feels off rather than talking yourself out of it.

What do the reviews say?

Stoner Singles turns up in most of the independent "best cannabis dating sites" roundups, so it is not an unknown quantity. Where reviewers are critical, the complaints tend to be about the product rather than honesty: a few have mentioned occasional bugs or a clunky moment in the interface, which is fair, and the sort of thing worth weighing against the fact that the community itself is genuinely cannabis-friendly rather than an afterthought. We would rather point you at that than pretend every review is glowing.

If you want to compare it against the alternatives before deciding, our honest comparison of the best 420 dating apps puts it side by side with the other options, prices and all.

So, is it worth joining?

If you use cannabis, or are happy to date someone who does, and you would rather skip the disclosure conversation entirely, then yes: a site where everyone is already 420 friendly does a job the mainstream apps do not. It is legitimate, it is genuinely free to try, it is easy to leave, and the safety tooling is better than most niche sites bother with. The honest catch is the same as with any smaller platform: the pool is more focused than a giant mainstream app, which is the whole point, but it means your local numbers depend on your area. The good news is that trying it costs nothing.
