Copium is a fictional drug that netizens accuse others of being on when they're in denial about something. "Doing copium," the thinking goes, allows people to cope with negative events, often by creating false rationalizations of how the event "didn't happen" or "isn't a big deal."
Like many slang terms, copium is a portmanteau, created by combining the words "cope" and "opium." It is related to but distinct from hopium, a portmanteau of "hope" and "opium" used to call out false hopes.
