High There

Sitting at your window with mediocre weed, watching it turn to ash, and all you really want is someone to share it with. Not making a thing out of it, not performance, just someone who gets it, who’d sit down and smoke without needing to talk around it. That’s the whole fantasy when you’re alone at night.

High There! is supposed to be the answer. It’s basically Tinder for stoners—sign up, swipe through people looking for smoking partners, find someone locally who isn’t completely unbearable, and theoretically you’ve got company. That’s the whole app.

Except it’s Android only right now, which is irritating because the people you’d actually want to smoke with probably have iPhones. Maybe Apple thinks it’s too much of a risk. Maybe they’re protecting the brand from the stoner association. The funny part is that Apple came out of actual hippie culture—the real thing, not the lifestyle-aesthetic version—so you’d think they’d be past worrying about it by now. But apparently the corporation just can’t get there.
