What triggers it
Glorifying, selling or distributing illicit drugs or commonly abused prescription drugs (opioids, barbiturates, amphetamines), or selling regulated drugs.
What Snapchat says
“We prohibit the glorification, sale, or distribution of illicit drugs (including prescription medication that is commonly abused, such as opioids, barbiturates, and amphetamines).”
We last checked this against Snapchat's page on .
How to fix it
Do not post. Remove all drug sale or glorification content.
Good to know
Drug menus, pill photos with prices, plug/emoji code words (snowflake, pill, leaf with 'DM'), drug-use glorification. Attempted drug distribution is a severe harm: the account is disabled.
