What is dope?

Dope can refer to several things, most commonly:

• Illegal Drugs: This is the most widespread and often the first association. "Dope" is a slang term for illicit substances, particularly narcotics like heroin, but can sometimes be used more generally to refer to marijuana or other drugs depending on context.

• Information: In some contexts, "dope" can mean information, especially inside or secret information. For instance, someone might say "give me the dope" to ask for details about a situation.

• Doping in Sports: In the context of sports, "dope" or "doping" refers to the use of prohibited performance-enhancing substances by athletes to gain an unfair advantage. It is illegal and goes against the ethics and rules of a fair sports competition.
