A drug user who uses opiates. Someone who does heroin, blues, methadone, etc. The person must be actually addicted and expierence withdrawal when not using to be considered a junkie, weekend users are not given the title unless someone has no idea what they’re talking about.
Junkies usually do shady shit and rarely have a job unless their habit started while they were working—they’ll be jobless soon without fail almost no matter what.
This is more of a general term for someone but is distinctly different from being called a “fiend” which basically means you’re a junkie but really down bad and basically doing whatever you can just to scrape together a couple pennies for a single blue, all day every day.
Junkies are down bad, but haven’t typically hit rock bottom yet. We have other names for those people.
Dude, if he was a junkie he would be going through withdrawal right now.
Somebody with the worst kept secret drug habit.
If the guy people had called a junkie 10 years ago had been any good at keeping his drug habit hidden from family or anybody else, nobody would have ever known he was a junkie at the time (or known about the extent of his drug use). Nobody would have claimed he disgraced his family or tried to start a bunch of drama with him over his drug use.
