The phrases “This shit is dope!” and “This dope is shit!” have exact opposite meanings.
And “this dope is the shit” means “this shit is dope.”
However, “this shit is the dope” does not mean “this dope is shit.”
But if this shit is the dope, pretty good chance that the dope is shit.
But in the case of “where’d you stash the shit?”, the dope is likely of at least usual quality.
And telling someone “you’re shit” and “you ain’t shit” mean the same thing.
But both different from being “the shit”
“You ever think about all of your shit is stuff, and everyone else’s stuff is shit?”

Now this shit is dope.
Not quite exact opposite.
In the first sentence, ‘shit’ could be damn near anything.
In the second sentence, ‘dope’ is going to be cocaine or heroin or something close to that.
So they’re not exact opposites, as the potential scope of the subject of the first sentence is much more broad than the second.
Imagines a really messed up episode of “is it cake?”.
Just like how something being bollocks is strong British condemnation, but being the DOG’S bollocks means it’s the fucking best!
What’s that about? Do British canines just have marvelous testicles? 🤔
I’m not sure “This dope is shit” has ANY meaning, as I’m not sure anyone has ever said that. Ever.
Well if you got a shitty batch if heroin, what else are you going to say?
Uhh someone doesn’t know about drugs apparently.
