In the past, and still in some localities, any kind of drug, including âsoftâ drugs like marijuana. Currently most often used used specifically for heroin. Regional variation can cause confusion.
The antidrug commercials (often featuring marijuana), tagline: âWhy do you think they call it dope?â
âShooting yourself with dope (heroin) is just less efficient than using a gun.â
âSomeone scored some great dope and we smoked all day.â
