Because doing drugs makes you act goofy, stupid, and dopey. It's called dope because it makes you act like a dope, basically. The word "dope" is sometimes used as an umbrella term for all drugs. Other times when people say "dope," they are referring specifically to heroin. Sometimes people also call marijuana "dope," but that is a bit outdated.
