On the Wire you do. In fact some of us in the fandom have gone from "Wireheads" to "Wire fiends" because we are so hung up we waited for a damn year and a half and who else but a junkie would do that?!
Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Are there still dope fiends who get high on goofballs?
eta: Oops - I meant "hopped up on goofballs."

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Now I have Jodeci's "Feenin" in my head, which I'm pretty sure is actually about fiending.

Feening makes me think of Macy Gray. Not sure if that's because she's always hopped up on something or another, or if she used the word in her breakout single.
Maybe both.
Am migrainey, am about to lead a huge meeting. Slay me now.

Another old drug expression I love is "Coked to the gills." A google on that exact phrase only turned up 674 hits.
