Age, Health & Legal Notice

Paper Bag is an adults-only community app about cannabis culture. It is not a dispensary, a delivery service or a medical provider.

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.

Age restriction

  • You must be 21 or older to pass the age gate and to hold an account.
  • The age gate is a self-confirmation, not government ID verification, and we say that plainly rather than overstating it.
  • Falsely confirming your age is a violation of our Terms and gets the account deleted.
  • Adults are responsible for keeping this app off shared devices used by minors.

Health and wellness disclaimer

Nothing in Paper Bag — including strain pages, effect tags, ratings and Chronic AI replies — is medical advice, a diagnosis, a treatment plan or a dosing recommendation.

  • Effects vary hugely by person, product, tolerance and setting; community ratings are opinions, not data.
  • Talk to a licensed clinician before using cannabis if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, take prescription medication, or have a heart, lung or mental health condition.
  • Start low, go slow, and never mix without knowing what you are doing.
  • If someone is in crisis, contact your local emergency number — Paper Bag is not a crisis service.

Never drive or work impaired

Do not drive, ride, boat, operate machinery or care for children while impaired. Plan a sober ride before a sesh starts, not after.

Local law is your responsibility

  • Cannabis laws differ by country, state, county and even venue. You are responsible for knowing and following yours.
  • Paper Bag does not facilitate the sale, transport or gifting of cannabis and does not connect buyers with sellers.
  • Do not cross borders or state lines with cannabis because of anything you read here.
  • We may block features, listings or shipping in regions where we cannot operate lawfully.

Meeting people safely

  • Video or voice chat before meeting, and meet somewhere public the first time.
  • Share your plan with a friend and keep your own transportation.
  • Keep your last name, workplace, home address and financial details private until trust is earned.
  • Report anything off in-app or at support@paperbag.app — we would rather hear it early.
