camer

Slang for using hard drugs, almost always reflexive — se camer, from the noun camé (a junkie/addict). Coarse, drug-culture register; not a neutral way to talk about substance use.

• Il s'est camé pendant des années avant de décrocher. — He used hard drugs for years before getting clean.
• Elle fréquentait des gens qui se camaient régulièrement. — She hung around people who used drugs regularly.
• On voyait bien qu'il était camé à son regard. — You could tell from his eyes that he was high.

Se camer specifically implies hard drug use, not just drinking or smoking cannabis casually — using it loosely for any substance use overstates what's meant; it's also blunt slang, inappropriate in neutral or clinical discussion (consommer des drogues, toxicomanie).
