1What this means for the scene

Drugs are named as illegal goods whose sale or promotion is barred. A scene that shows use without promoting a supply is not what these sentences describe, but several are broad enough that a moderation system may not draw the distinction.

4The making side of the policy

Policy wording in “Do AI video policies allow drug use on screen” meets production here; SceneMixer's pages describe its side like this:

It locks when you continue, because it shapes every character sheet, scene and video.
