The hashtag that is on Instagram, is one way for users to collect photos, or also find photos with a specific term. However, the hashtag on Instagram is often misused to classify categories that do not fit and are illegal, such as illegal drugs and narcotics.  In fact, some users are willing to search for types of drugs with a hashtag related. In this case, the hashtag opioid is often used in social media sharing photos and video.

If they are searching for the hashtag opioid, post results will show a collection of photos and videos that are associated with these drugs.  In anticipation of this, Instagram launches a feature where they can prevent someone with a drug addiction.  If the user later searches for the hashtag related to drugs, they will get a notice if Instagram provides support.

"If you or someone you know is struggling with the opioid use or abuse of drugs, find a way to free him, or immediately get rehab, we'll also provide information about drug use, prevention, and healing, "wrote Instagram.

The user will also get some options, such as support, ignoring the notice and then see the post, or cancel.
