NSFW Tag for drug use? (lemmy.world)

Hey guys, it was brought up in a report that NSFW tags should be applied to posts depicting drug use. What do you guys think? I could see it either way and thought you guys might like to weigh in on it. I personally don't find it particularly offensive but my work environments have never been the type to react strongly to something like this popping up on screen (I think they might be more upset about being on Lemmy at all). Currently there is no rule, and I am fine with that, unless feedback indicates the community would rather play it safe and require the NSFW flag.

Text is never going to need the tag. To the contrary, if you're at work reading text posts, and it's tagged NSFW, it draws the eye more.

Tagging text posts would defeat the entire purpose of the tag in its useful purpose.

Drug use isn't NSFW anyway, not in images or text.

What do you think the tag is for?

People at work don't (shouldn't) click on NSFW-tagged content. If it draws your eye even more, then I assume you don't browse from work.

How would it defeat the purpose to tag content that most workplaces would not be okay with? If you don't mind seeing the content, then the tag might entice you. People at work will recognize it and not click
