A drug user is a person who uses drugs either legally or illegally. The term user is typically employed more to refer to illegal drug use by a person who is often part of a subculture of recreational drug use. Drug users are often referred to as "heads", depending on the drug used, i.e., pothead, hophead, crackhead, etc. A drug user may or may not also be a drug abuser, and may or may not have one or more drug addictions.

Wine or love drug him to sleep,
Waking he thanks the Lord that he
Has body and its stupidity....”
