The social network for STONERS: PuffPuffChat is a Chatroulette-style site for people high on marijuana  

The Home Office reminds people that smoking cannabis in the UK is illegal

Chatroulette has exploded in popularity over the few years, and now it seems the social networking concept has extended even into the realms of drug taking.

PuffPuffChat is a website where people high on marijuana can talk to each other, while rating how high they are on a scale from 0 to 10.

following in the footsteps of other chat sites, PuffPuffChat connects two strangers and enables them to chat - albeit with that one obvious difference.

When users first log onto the website they are asked ‘How high are you?'

Once a number is selected, the user is then taken into a chat window with a random other user.

While their name is anonymous, how high they are is revealed next to their name

Users can also use a webcam to have a video chat with others.

'Quite predictably, I was inspired to create PuffPuffChat whilst under the influence of marijuana,' the site's creator, Eric, told MailOnline via email.

'So far the feedback has been very positive and heartwarming.

'Many people have reported having all kinds of fun conversations, some merely amusing, some truly inspiring.

'A surprising amount of favourable feedback, however, specifically refers to perhaps the silliest feature of the site - the see-through clouds at the top portion of the page.

'Those flee upon contact with the mouse cursor, and have reportedly been the source of cumulative hours of entertainment.'

The designers assured MailOnline the site was not a hoax.

Drug charities and the Home Office, however, have expressed concern at the site - especially considering cannabis is illegal in the UK and most parts of the U.S. - and warned users of the dangers of the drug.

'Based on evidence from across Europe, we know that stronger strains of cannabis may well be causing more problems,' a spokesperson for Public Health England told MailOnline.

'Our figures show that more and more people are using specialist drug services to get help for cannabis use, even though the overall trend is falling.

'This increase is likely to be due to a greater awareness of the risks and problems caused by cannabis by both people using the drug and health professionals referring people on to services.'

A spokesperson for the Home Office added: 'Our position is clear: cannabis is controlled as a class B drug. Suggesting that people should be discouraged from smoking and using the site is an operational matter for the police.'
