A drughead is a blunt, informal label for someone who uses drugs habitually — the kind of person whose life orbits around their next fix. It carries a dismissive, judgmental edge and is rarely used with compassion; it's more of a street-level insult than a clinical description. The term gets deployed to write someone off rather than understand them, and it's fallen somewhat out of fashion as conversations about addiction have shifted toward more empathetic framing.
