druggies
People on narcotics
Druggies is informal, often disparaging, for people who use drugs habitually—especially illegal ones.
The term suggests addiction or a lifestyle centered on drug use: The park had become a hangout for druggies.
Less harsh than "junkie" but still dismissive, carrying connotations of irresponsibility or social marginality.
