A stoner couple who met on a legal website for cannabis fans are now married.
Weed lovers Brennan, 38, and 31-year-old Jessica Bowers now live in Las Vegas, US, where marijuana is legal for recreational use.
The couple met on community site "High There" after having a common interest in smoking weed.
Jessica, a freelance content creator, said: "We prefer smoking flower, I like using a bong and Brennan enjoys joints and blunts, etc."
Together they discovered new methods for consuming weed, including "dabs" which contain high levels of psychoactive THC.
They both initially joined the website in a bid to find a smoking buddy – but instead found love.
Chef Brennan said: "It was just really funny that there was this social app for cannabis users.
"I made a profile and treated it like I'm looking for friends I could meet to just hang out and smoke with."
Jessica joined in 2016, a year after Brennan, didn't just want to start using standard dating apps like Tinder or Bumble.
She admitted: "I really wasn't even looking for anything romantic when I got on High There.
"I was looking for cool stoner girls, but I had it open to both, and Brennan and I matched."
The pair found using the cannabis-friendly site helped break the ice on the taboo subject.
Brennan added: "I needed somebody who understands that this is a recreational thing for me.
"A lot of people that I dated in the past had adopted the stigma too highly.
"I don't really drink; I would much prefer to get stoned and do stuff. It was important that somebody had that mindset as well."
Jessica agreed: "In my past relationship it wasn't a shared interest, and it was tough."

She added: "I think that's kind of what attracted me to High There, it gets that conversation out of the way.
"I don't have to slip in 'oh this is all about me and by the way, I smoke quite a bit of cannabis.'"
Although Jessica was looking for pals to smoke with, she was drawn to Brennan's bio.
The pair met online in January 2016 but it took a while until they finally met in person.
On their first date that March in Oregon, the couple got drinks and puffed on a vape pen while walking around.

A few months later they made it official, then in June 2019 Brennan and Jessica got engaged.
The lovebirds tied the knot in May 2021 in a small waterfall ceremony that Jessica's cousin officiated and mentioned where they met.
Though they achieved their goal of finding a smoking buddy with the bonus of love, the pair still have profiles on the site.
Since then the couple moved from Oregon to Las Vegas in 2021 and wouldn't have done it if the cannabis wasn't legal there.
Jessica said: "If we did, it wouldn't be in the United States."
