Addicts right to have nothing to do with Buds (6)
I believe the answer is:
fiends
'addicts' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being plural nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for fiends that I've seen before include "Cruel people or evil spirits" , "Addicts; devotees" , "Devils or cruel people" , "Demons or devils" , "Very wicked or cruel people" .)
