A word used to describe just about anything good in life, good news, a sick skateboard trick, a nice sports car, etc. Also one of the most casual yet satisfying words in modern slang. It can be used to varying levels of intensity anywhere from a casual "dope" to a mega hype "that's freaking dope man!".

Some belittle this word's meaning to purely a reference to drugs, but I'd argue that's like one of those #3 definitions on dictionary.com, like who cares, only the #1 definition matters.

In the 60's thru 80's "dope" usually meant marijuana. See the famous quote from the Fabulous Furry Freak Brothers ("Dope will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no dope!"). For a time, "dope" became a more generic term, often used for heroin (which used to be called "smack" or "junk"). "Weed" is now usually preferred for marijuana.

These days, dope is most often used to refer to heroin, though it can refer to any drug that's common in a community.
"Man, you know where I can get some dope?"

"Dope? When did you start shooting up?"

"Oh, alright, smartass, WEED! After 30 years, old habits die hard! Can you hook me up, or not?"
