Drugs tend to have female nicknames, except...

You ever notice how drugs usually have a female nickname. Molly, Mary Jane, Lucy, Candy, etc.
Except Heroin. Why is it referred to as 'Hank'?
Why do we give feminine nicknames to most of our drugs? Do you believe a majority of drug users are males?

That's right, OP, you forgot good ol' Dimitri.
You've got a point, but really, humans have a history of naming inanimate objects with female names. Boats and airplanes are good examples of this.

True, Dimitri is another male name.
Has anyone heard a nickname for mushrooms, because I can't think of it off hand. Shelly? haha..
Sally!
edit: I'm starting to think I was mistaken with Hank. I swear I remember hearing it referred to as such, but am coming up blank with an actual time.

I've heard of people calling MDMA Adam before, and DOB Dr. Bob or just simply Bob. But it is uncommon to have a male nickname for a drug.

Well now that I think about it...
A lot of mushrooms look like penises.
So I don't know what that means... lol

Heroine: a mythological or legendary woman having the qualities of a hero.
Duh!
And yes I think it is because most of us drug users are male. Its like playing a MMORPG. I made female characters... because well, I'm the one that has to stare at my avatar's ass all the time.

The funny thing is that Dimitri is, in my opinion, one of the most feminine drugs out there. My first aya trip, a black woman in a yellow dress came in waves to take me away...
Alcohol generally gets called masculine names - Jack, Jim, Old Rasputin.
