If you post a photo or video (BTW, no X, YouTube, or FB in China) showing drug users, you could face serious consequences. Content that portrays the country or the government in a negative light, especially on social media, can lead to detention or arrest.
As for drug users themselves, they are often removed quickly from public view through police action or compulsory rehabilitation, and information about what happens to them afterward is rarely transparent. Depending on the extent of addiction, they can be 'vanished' or 'disappeared' PERMANENTLY. Whatever the exact outcomes, the authorities move fast to prevent such images or stories from spreading.
The CCP is known for tightly controlling public discourse. Bigger issue for them is online speech that criticizes the government or damages China’s image. It is frequently censored, and those who persist can face legal consequences. The government places a strong emphasis on suppressing what it considers harmful or destabilizing narratives - against the CCP.
