At the risk that this is really a troll, it is not so wild. In fact, it is a fairly common practice. Cops know who is vulnerable in their area. And some like to go on a power tip.
Number one, you do not have "a little bit of a drug problem". There is no such thing as a little drug problem. Just like you can't be "a little pregnant". You need to admit to yourself that if you do drugs and booze, you have a HUGE problem. Never mind the health problems you are inviting.
It makes you vulnerable to scumbags like this cop. And that is not going to get any better. If he decides to pass the word around that you are available, other cops will come to use you, too.
Your next problem is that as a junkie, you have very little credibility. So your first step is to clean up. I'm not interested in how hard it is to kick the habit. Others have done it, so can you.
you also need to go to the internal affairs section of the Police department and talk to them about this incident. Chances are pretty good that you are not the first or the only one. Don't expect the cops to immediately arrest the guy. They will need to work up a case against him and get more solid evidence. Maybe watch him for a bit. One complaint by an unreliable drug addict is not going to do the trick.
