A dope is a stupid person: What a dope I was.

As an adjective, dope is slang for excellent or cool: That's a dope jacket.

The verb means to administer drugs: The horse had been doped.

To dope out something is to figure it out.

The dope on a subject is inside information: What's the dope on the new boss?
