21+ and safety
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.
