House rules
Community Guidelines
Paper Bag should feel like a good living room: warm, adult, and free of creeps and hustlers. These rules make that possible and we enforce them.
Last updated July 31, 2026. This page is maintained by the Paper Bag team and describes how we run this app today; it is not a certification or legal advice.
The five rules
- 21+ only. No minors, no content aimed at minors, no exceptions.
- No dealing. Do not sell, buy, trade, gift or arrange cannabis or any controlled substance through Paper Bag.
- Consent first. Ask before sending anything sexual, calling, or bringing someone to a sesh.
- Be real. Your own recent photos, your own name, your own vibe — no catfishing or borrowed pictures.
- Keep it kind. No harassment, hate speech, threats, doxxing or pile-ons.
Photos
- Upload photos you took or own, showing you clearly and recently.
- No photos of other people without their consent, and no photos of minors at all.
- No nudity, sexual acts, weapons, or images built to shock.
- No product menus, price lists, plant-count brags or anything that reads as a sales post.
Chat and voice calls
- Voice calls are for matched members only, and either side can end a call at any time.
- Do not record, screenshot or repost another member's chat, photo or call without permission.
- No spam, chain messages, crypto pitches, referral links or off-platform recruiting.
- If someone says stop, stop. Continuing is harassment and gets you removed.
Seshes
- Hosts must follow local law, keep the guest list 21+, and never charge for cannabis.
- Say clearly what the sesh is — the vibe, the spot, the size — and honor it.
- Never pressure anyone to consume, and always leave a sober way home.
- Attend at your own risk; Paper Bag does not vet venues, hosts or guests.
Reporting and enforcement
Report anything that breaks these rules in-app or at support@paperbag.app with a screenshot if you have one. Safety reports jump the queue.
- First-time minor issues get a warning and content removal.
- Repeat or serious issues get feature limits, unmatching, or account suspension.
- Dealing, minors, non-consensual content, threats and doxxing get an immediate permanent ban.
- Bans apply to the person, not just the account — creating a new account to get around one is also a violation.
- We may preserve evidence and cooperate with law enforcement where the law requires it.
