"bogart" is a verb, not a drug. It is used to acuse someone of hogging a joint or pipe, but it's not the drug, it's what one might to with it.
It's just as accurate to accuse someone of bogarting a shared bowl of potato chips.
The classic explanation is that Humphrey Bogart always seemed to have a cigaret in his hand ion many of his movies. No hogging their, as it was his personal smoke.
BUtif someone is passing around a shared smoke, then to "bogart" means ot hog it as if it was yours alone.
Og course, there's no question which drug the word is associated with.
Shocking! How could you know so many slang words for drugs??
BTW, Mary Jane for marijuana.
