        Since we’re being pedantic:

        Drugged -

        1. affected, intoxicated, or stupefied by or as if by a drug or the habitual use of drugs
        1. containing an illicit intoxicating drug usually added surreptitiously

        Not that you really needed the clarification, since you obviously just want to be obnoxious for no real reason.

          Tabers was the first proper medical dictionary I found on DDG search. It is one I have a physical copy of on the shelf in the room behind me. I merely copied the definition, and gave examples of substances (“any substance”). U/cattywampus, have I upset some sort of applecart that you were holding onto? I once had a lawyer attempt to impune my credentials in a depostion, by asking if I prescribed drugs. He wouldn’t define the term. In that case it’s best to find an accepted reference, and submit that definition. In the moment I did not, alas. All the same my client won their case. Moral: Don’t let lawyers play word games with you; call them on that immediately and with references.

          edited for clarity.
