Opiods (morphine, heroin, etc.) are most strongly associated with itching as they release histamine making users itchy. Crack and meth heads pick and scratch more than they itch.
Scientists still dont completely understand why people itch, or what stimulates the urge. However, in Pop culture, "itching" is a slang demonstration of being addicted to a drug and needing more of it. Purely just an example of being controlled by an addiction.
...A well documented symptom of amphetamine or cocaine induced psychosis is the illusion of having worms crawling under your skin. Long term crack and meth addicts will also pick at themselves until the have scabs on their face and body. This could constitute itching and is a widely observed fact, not pop culture.
