The kids change the slang all the time. Did you know that dope apparently no longer means cannabis? Apparently the kids think it means exclusively heroin (horse).

This has been true for a long time, hasn't it? I'm in my 40s and I don't think I've ever associated "Dope" with the devil's cilantro.

I don't know, we called it dope in when I was in high school (you were probably a very young child). You were in your 20s at the millenium and that wasn't that long ago. Perhaps you were the kids that changed it?
