Drug monitoring
The app is full of drug addicts, sellers and people that put at risk others with their substances.
I see so many people here in Mexico selling cristal or slam and a lot of users of it, using emojis to hide their substance usage.
I believes both a feature that monitors this emojis they use to talk about said substances is much needed, even it making a report to the police.
For other substances such as Alcohol, tabaco, marihuana and poppers there should be a block for people that do not want to match with others that do.

Why should grinder sell drug testing kits for what reason you can get me almost any drugstore I don't almost any drugstore anywhere and I'm sure you can probably get them cheaper on Amazon or Walmart eBay wherever and why is it the responsibility of all these apps to educate you about drugs and alcohol and safe sex and safe sacks but I find it amazing they don't want any of that being called in school You don't know how to use Google or Firefox or anything do you even look you can't swing a dead cat on any social media without finding a place for information for anything And like a lot of people have said this is a site for sex if you don't like like it find one that is comparable to you to you because it is not your job or your business to comment or regulate what somebody does or doesn't do Yes if they're selling or doing something obviously very simple report profile Then you'd better do something about the little whiny still on the mama sugar tits they gang up and make false accusations against people on here because whatever because they're low still sucking on mama sugar tits and that was a real thing by the way Google letch The computers are wasn't this there was a lad in the back of the magazines you went to the bookstore or the gay bars had little the gay rags that came out every week and you bought time on a phone and you had to listen to something damn thing you didn't have pictures available it wasn't instant and I believe the people that don't like all this stuff I believe it's called Christian dating or match.com or blah blah but guess what if you know what you're looking for they're just as lazy as everybody else The computers are wasn't this there was a lad in the back of the magazines you went to the bookstore or the gay bars had little the gay rags that came out every week and you bought time on a phone and you had to listen to something damn thing you didn't have pictures available it wasn't instant and I believe the people that don't like all this stuff I believe it's called Christian dating or match.com or blah blah but guess what if you know what you're looking for they're just as lazy as everybody else Snap doesn't prove you're real how come it's snap that's whatever you seem to want on there no because of snap works they only have a grinder ad because they can't do and say certain things that is not encrypted so they go to snap cause you can video and talk and I'll kind of crap But that's all these people want to snap hello folks there's a reason The hangouts Google hangouts could I have your Gmail hangout don't give them up folks hangouts is the worst And if you're worried about people with your pictures don't send any pinus sample Birthday watch I think by the Fox site But then why are you on here it was never that's what it was from the get go go start your own app that doesn't allow it from the beginning but if you're that you know that's strong of a belief about your sexual behaviors and what you like and don't like this is not for you and you have no right to force it answers somebody else Turn the channel nobody forced you You're shut everybody's the best but come on Thank God they do what they do because they don't have to ask you did you up because it is a good thing because of the platform they have to spread it around Anyone of you wherever you live and if it's available you should know where the free testing clinics are the needle exchange where you can get HIV counseling where you can get the prep pill it's your job to know that That drug testing kept a lot of the places you can go get it right now today and the price results around how accurate and how precise it is But if you think it's you're gonna buy a drug test because somebody comes over or could you go pee in the battle I think you're off the beam Cause if you're all worried about what's going on out there's sex wise there's a real simple solution to that I believe that's what they're spouting out now absolutely abstinence is the best form of not getting anything or getting pregnant why did I hear a pin drop because nobody wants to do that either You have not gone and got vaccines that you could get to help protect you against other sexually transmitted diseases probably aren't even aware of that or that's only for women or girls And those of you that are trans and you've how you identify be very careful that your doctors and your pharmacist know I kid you not there are prescription and drugs out there that were designed for a natural man or a natural woman it can harm you I cannot stress it enough and I just caught it on a commercial the other day If you have changed your gender legally and everything please please talk to your pharmacist and your doctors And if you've gone into a new place and you're just safe email and they write it down Beg of you

I could also make the same argument about:
- Sexual orientations other than mine/ I'm not into.
- Kinks and Fetishes I'm not into.
- Ethnicity not mine/ I'm not into.
Who are you to say what people can't and can do during sex? -
Fra commented
Yep Grindr is an app for people searching for sex, if you don't like it either stop using it or filter out the users with "Right Now".

I also want to know why Grindr doesn’t supply more information about drug testing kits, harm reduction clinics and centers, and other drug and substance use education that isn’t so closed off as Grindr has taken to this issue?
You should be a marketplace for drug testing kits, frankly. It would save lives if I could purchase a drug testing kit from grindr directly.
I’m talking about game changing policies for Grindr. You would be community heroes for saving the lives of countless youth.
C’mon. Stop being Americans for a minute, and think like the rest of the civilized world.
If you want to profit from this community, SAVE this community.
That is m my challenge to Grindr.
That is my challenge.
Take it up.

Whether we make it easy or hard for people to use chems, if they are determined to do it they will find those who play on chems. By adding the tags, it creates an environment and a sense of belonging and not alienation which is often what drives people to the extreme. It will also limit the exposure to those innocent men who wouldn't normally consider using drugs. With the hnh and PnP tags, Those who are high will look / look out for one another and there will be higher visibility on the issue. Its the stigma that kills. Pretending guys who PnP don't exist won't solve the problem. Adding the tags will also provide better insight so those are risk can be given better advice.

You guys don't let stoners post looking for weed yet every other dude on here is looking to "parTy" ban these profiles this should be a gay dating app not a drug cartel. These guys just show up with a backpack tweaking trying to rob yah.

People are able to openly talk about, advertise, and sell marijuana on Grindr but any other drug is frowned upon and will have your account suspended. Either allow all or ban all but don't pick and choose which ones you think should be allowed.

The Grindr stopped in time without releasing relevant new, the app is a whorehouse where people seek sex, drugs and the like, not to mention the numerous profiles without photos, you need to be more creative.

There are countless open meth users on this app and no visible help for said users. Grindr needs to do more to help with the drug epidemic it helps thrive. Banning their profiles does nothing. They come back on almost immediately with new profiles. Offer some information or maybe a phone number to call.

In some countries grindr has become a place for drug dealers. I suggest to give some rewards or option for people who reports true cases of drug trafficking so they stay out of the app. Maybe some of the xtra features or some kind of reward to promote reporting.

I think as you have banned the use of words like ‘cum’ you should ban the term HNH in all its forms. I’m so disheartened and worried about the guys around me who are using drugs and having sex. I’m particular meth use, it’s a situation which has been exacerbated by the pandemic. Even one slide offer help and support for meth use could make a difference ✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽✌🏽

There should be a greater verification of profiles, at present, you can not meet people in the application, at least here in Chile, it is full of drug sellers and although we reports and blocks, more continue to arrive. Please do something about it.

I'm 11 years sober and drug free. In looking to protect my sobriety, I seek to avoid meeting guys on Grindr who use drugs, nor do I want to be around them.
My profile used to say "drug free" but Grindr has since blocked the word "drug" from profile text.
AS IF anyone is saying "let's get together and use drugs!" in their profile!!!
Grindr:
Immediately remove the word "drug" from your filters
ADDITIONALLY: Create some way that we can clearly indicate "drug free" in our profiles that is UNMISSABLE and unmistakable.
Let's not pretend you really care all that much about censoring drug use. As it is people will use capiTal leTTers and various emojis to indicate drug use, and this is just fine with Grindr.
