Getting started
What is My420Love?
My420Love is a premium dating community for cannabis-friendly adults 21 and over, of every gender and orientation. Our motto is Love first. 420 second. We match you on how you love, laugh, talk and live, and yes, on how you enjoy cannabis too. You might come for the 420, but we hope you stay because you found someone you actually like.
What is 420 dating?
420 dating is dating for people who are comfortable with cannabis, whether you enjoy it every day, now and then, or simply don't mind if your date does. On My420Love it's love first, 420 second: we match cannabis-friendly singles 21+ on how you love, laugh, talk and live, and then on how you like to enjoy cannabis, so your 4:20 habits are never an awkward surprise on a first date.
How is My420Love different from swipe apps?
We start with how you love, not with a stack of photos to swipe. The free Love Test shows your love archetype. Your Match Report looks at seven colors: Love, Green, Chemistry, Communication, Fun, Lifestyle and Romance. Every day at 4:20 PM, Meet My Mary Jane brings you a few picks whose vibe fits yours, each with the reasons why. Twin Alerts let you know when someone's answers to Dawn's Test line up with yours. A real person reviews every profile photo, and our family of brands brings people together at real-life events, starting in Las Vegas and Chicago. And everything is free until January 1, 2027.
Is it really free?
Yes. Everything, including every feature of our complete Love + Weed plan, is free for everyone until January 1, 2027. No card needed. After that, the Free plan stays free, and paid plans are completely optional.
Is there a My420Love app?
Yes, and you don't need an app store to get it. My420Love is a web app: open my420love.com in your phone's browser and add it to your home screen (on iPhone, tap Share, then Add to Home Screen; on Android, open the browser menu, then Install app or Add to Home screen). It opens full screen and works like an app. There's no App Store or Google Play version yet. Want to keep things low-key? You can choose a discreet app icon when you install it.
How do I get started?
Take the free Love Test first: 12 quick questions, about 2 minutes, no account needed. If you like what you learn, join with your email, a password and your birthday, confirm your email, and play our "Let's get comfy" profile game. Your Love Test answers come with you, so you won't answer anything twice.
Why do you need my birthday?
To make sure everyone here is 21 or older. Other members see your age, never your birthday. Bonus: your zodiac sign pops up when you enter it. Please enter it carefully, because it can't be changed later.
Why can't anyone see my profile yet?
A few things happen first: you confirm your email, finish your profile, and our team approves your first photo. A real person reviews every photo, usually within a few hours. In the meantime you can look around, and any likes or compliments you send are delivered as soon as your photo is approved.
The Love Test and matching
What is the Love Test?
A free, 2-minute game of 12 questions, starting with the one everybody wants to answer: "How clean is your bong?" At the end, you'll meet your love archetype, one of eight, like The Cozy Explorer or The Candlelit Romantic. You can share your result (just your archetype, never your answers), and if you join, all 12 answers come with you.
Is the compatibility score scientific?
No, and we say so next to every score: it's a fun compatibility tool — not a scientific prediction. Scores come from your answers across seven colors: Love, Green (420), Chemistry, Communication, Fun, Lifestyle and Romance. Every score comes with the reasons behind it, plus one thing to talk about. You'll never see 100%, and until two people have answered enough of the same questions, you'll see "Getting to know you" instead of a number.
What is Dawn's Test?
Eighteen cannabis-lifestyle questions from our founder, Dawn, covering everything from how you like to enjoy it to how honest you are about cleaning the bong. You'll answer them right after you join, and six are already done if you took the Love Test. They shape the green side of your matches and power Twin Alerts.
What's in my Match Report?
Your Match Report is your love story so far: who you are (your archetype plus seven styles, from your Green Personality to your Romance Style), who you should look for, and your matches, each with why you might click, where you're alike, where you're different, something to talk about and a first date idea. How deep it goes depends on your plan. During the Founding period, everyone gets the complete report.
What do Smokin' Hot Match, Smokin' Buddy and Open to both mean?
It's the first thing you tell us about what you want. Smokin' Hot Match is for romance, Smokin' Buddy is for friendship and good company, and Open to both means you're happy either way. Members looking only for romance and members looking only for buddies are never matched with each other, so everyone's time is well spent. You can change your choice anytime.
What are my red flags?
Your private dealbreakers: up to five things you're not willing to ignore, like tobacco smoking or wanting different things from a relationship. We use them to keep certain people out of your suggestions, and you out of theirs. They're never shown to anyone and never hinted at, and changes take effect overnight.
Why send a compliment instead of a like?
Because here, the first move is kind. Pick one of five kinds, Personality, Vibe, Smile & Style, Accomplishment or Kindness, and say something genuine. A compliment counts as a like, too. The other person can say thanks and start chatting, compliment you back, or choose "Not for me," and you'll never be told if they pass.
Meet My Mary Jane and Twin Alerts
What is Meet My Mary Jane?
Your daily picks. Every day at 4:20 PM your local time, a fresh set of people whose vibe fits yours arrives, each with the reasons why. It's the opposite of endless swiping: a few people worth your time. You get 3 to 7 picks a day depending on your plan, and everyone gets 7 during the Founding period.
Why 4:20 PM?
You already know why. It also makes a lovely daily ritual: your picks stay put until the next day's drop, so there's no rush and no endless scrolling.
Why did I get fewer picks today, or none at all?
We only show people who are a strong fit and who fit what you're both looking for. We'd rather show you no one than the wrong one. We're growing city by city, so as more people join near you, your picks will fill in.
What are Twin Alerts?
When someone's answers to Dawn's Test line up with yours, we let you both know. A Perfect Twin matched all 18 answers, a Vibe Twin matched at least 17, and a Green Twin shares your cannabis habits. Alerts only happen when you both fit each other's preferences, you'll get no more than 3 a day, and you can turn them off in Settings. During the Founding period, everyone gets the full reveal. After that, the Free plan shows a teaser, and the full reveal comes with a paid plan.
Does a Twin Alert reveal my private answers?
No. Twin Alerts only compare your answers to Dawn's Test, and sensitive answers are never used. Only the answers you both gave the same way are revealed, and only to the two of you.
Founding Members and pricing
What happens on January 1, 2027?
Nothing automatic. Free access for everyone ends at 12:00 a.m. Pacific Time, and the Free plan carries on. If you'd like more, you can choose a paid pass. Nobody is enrolled or charged automatically, and nothing is deleted. We'll email you about 30 days and 7 days before.
What's a Founding Member?
Anyone who joins before January 1, 2027. You get a permanent Founding Member badge, and when paid plans begin, your first year of Love + Weed is $42 instead of $71. The offer is available for a limited time after paid plans start, and we'll email you the exact deadline.
How much are the paid plans?
A Little Bit of Love is $42 a year, and Love + Weed, the complete experience, is $71 a year. That's $3.50 a month for love, or $5.92 for love + weed. Less than a pre-roll. Our Pricing page shows exactly what each plan includes.
Will I be charged automatically?
Never. Every paid plan is a one-time yearly pass: one payment, one year, and it never renews on its own. We'll remind you 30 days, 7 days and 1 day before it ends, and you can buy another year with one tap if you want to. You pay on our payment processor's secure page, so we never see or store your card, and the charge shows up as MY420LOVE.COM.
What is the 7-Day Love-It Promise?
If you buy a pass and change your mind within 7 days, we'll give you a full refund, no questions asked, and send it within 3 business days. Your exact deadline is in your order email.
Can I pay to be shown to more people?
No, and that's on purpose. Paying never buys attention here. Paid plans give you more picks, more insight and more ways to start a conversation, but everyone gets a fair shot at being seen.
What stays free no matter what?
Messaging your matches, reading and replying to compliments and hellos, icebreakers, your 30-second video, events, safety tools, blocking, reporting, and downloading or deleting your data.
Safety and privacy
Do you run background checks?
No. MY420LOVE DOES NOT CONDUCT CRIMINAL BACKGROUND SCREENINGS OF ITS MEMBERS. Instead, a real person reviews every photo and video before anyone sees it, our filters watch for scams and sales, and you can report or block anyone in two taps. Please read our Safety Tips before you meet anyone.
What does Photo Verified mean?
It means our team compared a live selfie, taken while copying a pose we chose, with that member's profile photos. It's a good sign the photos are really them, but it isn't an ID check or a background check. We don't use face-recognition technology, and we delete verification selfies 30 days after review.
Who can see my profile, and where I live?
Only signed-in members who fit what you're looking for, and whose preferences you fit. Profiles are never public on the web. We only show your metro area, like "In Las Vegas," and distances are rounded to the nearest 10 miles, or hidden if you prefer. We never use your phone's GPS, and we strip hidden location data from every photo you upload.
What happens to my cannabis answers and my orientation?
We treat them as sensitive. We only ask after you give your consent, we use them only to build your profile and match you, and we never sell them or use them for ads. You choose what shows on your profile, and you can withdraw consent anytime in Settings. Your private answers and red flags are never shown to anyone.
Will anyone know I'm on My420Love?
We make discretion easy. Discreet mode is on from the start: our emails come from "M4L" with neutral subject lines, and no names, photos or cannabis words. You can also install the app with a discreet "M4L" icon. And we never sell your data.
How do I report or block someone?
Tap Report or Block on their profile or in your conversation. It takes two taps. Reporting blocks them too, and they'll never know it was you. The most serious reports hide the person's profile right away while we review. If you're in danger, call 911 first.
How do I delete my account or download my data?
Both are in Settings. Deleting hides your profile right away and permanently erases your data within 30 days (just log back in before then if you change your mind). Downloading sends you a link to a file with your data, which works once and expires after 72 hours.
Cannabis and the law
Can I buy or sell cannabis on My420Love?
No. Never. Accounts that try are removed. My420Love is for connection, not commerce: no sales, trades, "donations," deliveries or plugs, and no cannabis-product deals from businesses either.
Do I have to use cannabis to join?
Not at all. Whether you enjoy it daily, rarely or never, you're welcome here as long as you're cannabis-friendly. "Rarely" and "Never" are separate answers, so being careful never counts against you. New to it all? Our sister site, Gettin' Comfy With Cannabis, is a great place to start.
Is cannabis legal where I live?
That depends on your state, and cannabis is still a controlled substance under federal law. Everything cannabis-related on My420Love is for adults 21 and over, only where legally permitted, and it's up to you to know your local laws. We only suggest cannabis-friendly date ideas when you're both in states where adult use is legal.
Is it OK to enjoy cannabis on a date?
If you both want to, only where it's legal for adults 21 and over, in a private home or a licensed consumption lounge, and never in public. Never drive impaired, so plan your ride first. Don't accept anything you didn't see opened or bought yourself, and remember that "no, thanks" is always a perfectly good answer.
Can I have cannabis in my photos?
Tastefully, in your other photos, but never in your main one. Your first photo is all about your face. Cannabis can't be the subject of any photo (no product close-ups, jars, scales, menus or prices), and no photo with cannabis in it can include children.
Do you give medical advice?
No. We don't make health claims about cannabis, and we don't ask about medical conditions or medical cards. For health questions, please talk with a qualified professional.
Events and the My420Love family
Are there in-person events?
Yes! My420Love is part of Dawn's family of brands, including 420 Speed Dating, PrideTime Speed Dating, lounge nights and Red Dawn Comedy, starting in Las Vegas and Chicago. We only post an event's date, time and venue once the venue is confirmed, so tap "Notify me" to hear first. Every event is 21+, with a valid government ID required at the door.
Who's behind My420Love?
Dawn, also known as Red Dawn. She's the founder behind a family of brands that bring cannabis-friendly people together in real life, including 420 Speed Dating, Red Dawn Comedy, Compliments for Change and Gettin' Comfy With Cannabis. My420Love brings it all together in one place.
I met someone at an event. Can we connect here?
Yes. For 72 hours after an event you RSVP'd to, you'll see the other attendees who chose to appear on the guest list. If you both tap "We met," you're matched instantly. Got an event code at the door? Enter it when you join.
What are Date Deals?
Member specials from local restaurants, comedy clubs, lounges and other great date spots. Businesses pay to be featured, so every deal is clearly labeled Sponsored. Deals are never for cannabis products, and businesses never get your personal information. Own a business? Visit our For businesses page.
How does Compliments for Change fit in?
Our five compliment categories come straight from Dawn's Compliments for Change kindness walls. It's where our compliment-first spirit started, and My420Love proudly supports Compliments for Change.
Still curious?
The best way to understand My420Love is to take the free Love Test. It takes about 2 minutes.
