Dimwit’s stupefying drug (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dope

This clue is a double definition.

'dimwit's' is the first definition.
(both can mean a stupid person)

'stupefying drug' is the second definition.
(dope can mean cannabis)

(Other definitions for dope that I've seen before include "Drugs for a dimwit" , "But does he understand" , "Simpleton" , "Information; nitwit" , "Informal drug or stupid person" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
