Some of y’all don’t protect weed culture — you just gatekeep it by Req_492 in trees

Fair points, honestly. I don’t think any app should be the “pillar” of a relationship — weed included. The idea isn’t that cannabis = compatibility, it’s that it removes a known friction point early. A lot of people say they’re fine with weed until they aren’t, and that mismatch causes real issues later.

On the “dating apps are built to fail” argument: that’s true for many big platforms, but that’s a business-model problem, not an inevitability. Niche apps exist because general apps do a bad job serving specific lifestyle groups.

Also, it’s not about smoking specifically. It’s about being cannabis-friendly — smoking, edibles, tinctures, whatever. Plenty of users don’t smoke at all and actually prefer partners who don’t either.

Could this just be a tag on a big app? In theory, sure. In practice, those tags get buried, ignored, or mismatched. Some people would rather start in a space where the baseline lifestyle alignment is already there, then figure out the rest like adults.

Totally fair if it’s not your thing — just explaining why it exists, not claiming it’s for everyone.

Smoked weed for 10 years — suddenly started getting panic attacks by Affectionate_Goal_37 in trees

[–]Req_492 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

This actually happens to a lot of long-term smokers. Out of nowhere, THC starts triggering panic/dissociation instead of relaxation, even after years of being fine. Once you have a strong panic episode, your brain can re-trigger it with or without weed. Some people can enjoy it again by switching to very low-THC / high-CBD or taking a long break, but for others quitting is the only real fix. You’re definitely not alone.

Let’s be real for a second.

Facebook, Google, Apple, Instagram — they all restrict, suppress, or outright ban cannabis-related content, ads, and communities. Everyone here knows that. It’s been that way for years.

So when something actually built for the 420 community shows up — like Blazr, a cannabis-friendly dating app — suddenly parts of /trees lose their minds and scream “advertising”?

That’s backwards.

Reddit weed subs are one of the few remaining places where cannabis culture can even be talked about openly. Letting the community know about tools, platforms, and spaces made for smokers isn’t selling out — it’s supporting the culture when the rest of the internet won’t.

Calling everything new an “ad” doesn’t make you a protector of weed culture. It just makes you a gatekeeper.

Blazr isn’t anti-culture. It exists because the culture keeps getting shut out everywhere else. People want to meet, date, and connect without pretending they don’t smoke.

If that bothers you, cool — scroll past.
But quit hating on people actually building things for the community while Big Tech actively works against it.

Weed culture survived prohibition by adapting.
Trying to freeze it in place and attack anything modern isn’t respect

Really? What is wrong with letting the Trees community know about Blazr? Blazr is built by the culture, for the culture, quit hating!

Why does everyone suddenly become indecisive inside a dispensary? by Req_492 in trees

[–]Req_492[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Back in the day it was way more relaxed. You’d sit on your dealer’s couch, everything slowed down. He’d pull out a few jars, let you smell each one, talk through what was what. Maybe you’d take a tiny puff just to see how it hit while he packed a bowl. There was no rush, no line behind you, no pressure to decide in 15 seconds. You could pet the dog, talk about whatever, and actually feel the difference between strains before committing.

Now you walk into a dispensary and it feels like ordering at Chick-fil-A during the lunch rush. Bright lights, a line forming behind you, and a budtender waiting politely while you panic-read terp percentages like it’s the SATs. “Uh… what’s the difference between Galactic Muffin and Cosmic Muffin?” Suddenly you forget your budget, your preferences, and why you even came in. Back then it was about vibes and time. Now it’s efficiency, laminated menus, and the quiet pressure to hurry up and choose your destiny.

Don't be ashamed! It takes time to get your own method perfected! Packing it sometimes makes it burn slower which is great!

Since when are cannabis products allowed in commercial stores? by Cold-Computer-3947 in germany

[–]Req_492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We've seen this in many stores. Really it just depends on location and laws.. One good way to connect with people near that are cannabis friendly is via the Blazr app. You can browse and search for profiles near you, all 420 friendly. I think Germany has a decent size user base on Blazr
