Terminology is an inconsistent phenomenon of language. Terms acquire various connotations for every person. Terms are like magnets for things like experiences and memories, images and ideas. Every term is like the truck of a tree, each person branches off of it their own connotations. Some people romanticize the idea of being a 'druggy' or a 'junkie' and I think some people get into drugs or even heroin specifically because of this romanticism. Other people hide the fact obsessively, wanting NO ONE to know their habits.
However, culturally words tend to gain consensus as to whether they are pejorative or euphemistic. Druggy seems to be on the pejorative side of the fence unless perhaps you are a fifteen year old kid who romanticizes drug use and its concomitant nomenclature.
If I were called a druggy, I would say "True, but I am also a writer, a musician, a brother, a son, a reader, a thinker, an explorer, a nomad, a hiker, a bicyclist, a coffee drinker, a lover, a human being..." What use is it to limit someone's essence to a label? It's confining and totally inaccurate as an expression of the totality of someone's being. I suppose, I'd be less offended if someone said, "You are, among so many other things, a druggy". This would approach the truth far closer than the limiting statement "You are a druggy". But the study of linguistics and syntax and the evolution of language will cause you to become quite anal about such things. Also, I'm a writer. Words...they kind of matter.
