I've seen both cocainism and morphinism in older texts. About a 100 years ago, these were absolutely things, at least in German-speaking countries, and opiate addicts were consistently referred to as morphinists.

We need a Matrix remake where Morphinist tries to guide Neo out of the office but nods off.

Vincent Vega as a "heroin enthusiast"

He just like me for real tho.

He had mid taste with all that China White though. Golden brown for the real pro-sumer hobbyist.
