Out here it is bailing wire and duck tape. No dope involved, except the ones who use the stuff.

can it be sort of an idiom?
you use dope as another term for drugs right? (e.g Give me a dope.)
so can it be considered as an idiom?

perhaps…  because you can say it in that way, however it is more like of slang word. Americans usually use that for some purposes like… instead of saying “can you give me a drug” they say “can you give me a dope”, what cha think? sounds cooler right? hehe~ ^^,

I think it is more of a slang word.  An idiom seems to imply more than one word in a phrase.
Dope is drugs.
All doped up (meaning “high on drugs”) would be an idiom
