Launched by the same team that created the High There dating app, the High There Hopper is a unique new Denver-based service that has been described as a cross between Uber and Tinder with a stoner spin. The High There Hopper also helps tourists drawn to Colorado to take advantage of recreational cannabis laws find away around tricky, confusing regulations regarding where exactly pot can be legally consumed.
Appearing like the inside of the average party bus at first, the psychedelic High There Hopper is fully stocked with ashtrays and just about any means for consuming cannabis one could imagine or desire. The High There Hopper will run a variety of routes that allow the 20-person limo-style bus to serve as a mobile cannabis lounge between trips to local destinations such as ski hills and dispensaries.
