Surface Forms
Morphology
The meaning 'to use marijuana by smoking it' is directly and compositionally derived from 'smoke' (to inhale/exhale smoke) plus 'dope' (slang for marijuana); the verb + noun structure transparently indicates the action on the substance. Although 'dope' is informal/slang, if a learner knows that sense then the overall MWE meaning is immediately interpretable.
Etymology
Smoke dope comes from the simple, literal image of lighting a drug called dope and breathing in its smoke. So it means 'to use marijuana by smoking it'.
