Crazy combination of drugs (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crackpot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'crazy' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'combination of drugs' is the wordplay.
'combination of' becomes 'crack' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'drugs' becomes 'pot' (slang term for mariujana).
'crack'+'pot'='CRACKPOT'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for crackpot that I've seen before include "Eccentric (colloq.)" , "Bats" , "Damage utensil for informally eccentric person" , "Fruitcake, screwball" , "Odd" .)
