Look, we can have drugs in pony land, we just have to call it sleepygrass and shit, because that’s what horses eat to get high or somethin 3

I think it’s a matter that the Safe-Suggestive-Questionable-Explicit tags only really apply to nudity/sexual content. Additional tags like “drugs” or “grimdark/semi-grimdark” are what apply to other tags one might consider objectionable.
 
Correct me if I’m wrong, staff, but those tags are excluded in much the same way as nudity and sexual content under the filter settings, like the default setting everyone initially signs on with? I would assume so, that just makes logical sense. IE: If you wouldn’t see it in the show, you won’t see it under the “Default” filter.

@Ferrotter  
Only you’re completely wrong.
 
This would go under site and policy, which frequently has very useful serious discussions. Do you know what happens after about 24 hours to a meta image post on here? Other than the same people who began commenting and are subscribed to it, nobody else is going to see it.
 
Cut your crap about the forums being useless because you’re only discouraging their usage and contributing to the problem.

@Prof.NightJack  
But the forums did, do, and likely always will suck for that purpose. They’re great for discussions that recur constantly (what did you think of the last episode?), or standing discussions (latest site changes as of whatever today is), or where you just want a discussion and don’t care that it’s the same three people you’ve discussed everything else with.
 
To start an actual discussion, you have to start it where the people are. Which, unsurprisingly on an image site, is the image gallery.

@TitaniumCupcake  
Only the mods set up the forum to stop image being made for purpose of starting a discussion.  
So no, the forums are the way to go if you don;t want to get in trouble.
 
Also the comment where to point out you thinking of how the tags work, and how posting this is to talk, is wrong.

See, I post an image, I get replies. I go to the forums, I get a whole 2 people reply to me. Obviously images are the way to go sadly.

@TitaniumCupcake  
In the right context, yes. But I think that is more for the tag “stoned”.

Tree Hugger’s just bummed that drugs aren’t tagged as “Legal” instead.

@Mad Black  
do you think Drug pics applied to ponies would be…dark humor?

@hype  
Your profile pic goes well with your comment :P

@TitaniumCupcake  
The tag safe isn’t really supposed to be equal to TV-Y, more like PG.
 
But as what would you tag it instead? I explained to you why the other system tags aren’t the right thing for as a default. You might read the tag-guidelines again.

@TitaniumCupcake  
No, the safe tag is to imply there is nothing of a sexual nature in the image.

@TitaniumCupcake

@Prof.NightJack  
Safe is meant to imply kid friendly. Are you suggesting drugs are kid friendly?

Looking at the tag guidelines there is nothing to say something about drugs should be under anything but safe.

Here, I made you a present:  

 
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

that’s right kids, smoke up

Alcohol and drunkenness are both considered ‘Safe’ tag worthy as well, so in that sense it is consistent.

Hang on a sec. Let me make an image. brb

Hippie Pony is new Waifu

@TitaniumCupcake  
PS: You might consider another picture for your avatar. It looks like it could use a seizure warning, which isn’t exactly safe for everyone either.

@TitaniumCupcake  
Which is why you should go to the forums if you want a discussion about it. I would suggest the thread about tag discussion, or you could make your own, or ask the admins directly.

@Mad Black The image is mostly to spread awareness that drug refs are tagged safe amongst those that do not frequent the forums.

You can suggest to put the tag drugs into the default filter. But it would be wrong to tag them per se with a other system tag like suggestive, questionable or explicit, those are for sexual content, and grimdark or grotesque, which are for darker content.  
The only thing I would say appropriate for “safe drug images” would be maybe semi-grimdark.
