'high' is the definition.

'illegal drug at night gets daughter' is the wordplay.
'illegal drug' becomes 'E' (E can mean ecstasy).
'at night' becomes 'late' (I can't justify this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'daughter' becomes 'd' (genealogical abbreviation).
'e'+'late'+'d'='ELATED'
