Why am I making this poll? (spoiled cuz i don't want bias)
+ Show Spoiler +
Well, I am currently debating the definition of the word via PM with someone. It all started from that "dopeman" thread. He insists that these days, dope pretty much only means heroine, and by saying that it actually just means "drugs" I am in fact confusing people. It's funny because I think the people who are most likely to agree with him are those who comprise the younger generations, which is also what TL is made up of. And yet, I still predict this poll will contradict what he says. So, lets see.

I agree with you that the meaning of the word is drugs in general but it probably varies from hood to hood and time to time
|
For me it can mean several things depending on the situation... but probably just drugs in general.
|
I thought it was just weed, but I just watched "The Departed" and.. They refered to dope as any drug (he knew drug deal was going on but wasnt sure which drug)

the hard thing about this poll is the demographic you are asking...very similar kind of people...probably a lot of people that spend a lot of time on the computer alone (nothing wrong with that because starcraft is awesome and worth it!) just saying that it's not like the same as asking random people on the street of different ages....

yeah, considering right now the poll implies that DOUBLE the people think of dope as weed over heroine...which probably doesn't reflect the general population unless the people voting are past their 30s or 40s

heroine = female hero, not heroin, so you might wanna fix it
like all drug terminology it varies where you are... certainly, dope is most often taken as meaning heroin.
most of the people who call anything else dope are 40+ years old and generally have little exposure to any kind of drug culture... and even then it generally means buds. but yeah, pretty much anyone with the slightest exposure beyond DARE class as a kid doesn't call mary jane dope
im pretty sure dope refers to dopamine or some shit in heroin. you don't get dopesick on buds.

biased poll, i always though "dope" meant "cool", eg that's dope.
|
lol i don't know how to fix it but ty anyways hawk :/
|
bad poll
Dope means "awesome , amazing, Cool " something along those lines.
"That shit is Dope !"
|
In my experience:
People who are experienced with the drug culture:
dope = heroin
People who aren't
dope = marijuana
|
When I was in high school dope was weed but it gets used for heroin, cocaine etc.

haha i thought of this at first too. was expecting this as one of the options on the poll.

Dope to me is cocaine actually.
Weed has never been dope.
Heroin is closer to cocaine visually, so if I had to chose between the two it'd be heroin.
My wife said weed, meth, or crack.
So I'm choosing any drug.

dope definitely used to be slang for weed a few decades ago
heroin is most often brown b/c of impurities while cocaine is white...really surprises me you are old enough to be married and say that 'weed has never been dope'

"The dopest dope that you'll ever smoke."

Dope is a word I never hear, ever lol. Unless I'm talking to my dad or someone else who used to use drugs back in tha day, in which it normally just means weed.
But I was always under the impression that it was used for heroin, these days.
