'drug takers' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'hide in africa desk' is the wordplay.
'hide in' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'hidden in' mean this).
'africa'+'desk'='africadesk'
'africadesk' anagrammed gives 'ACID FREAKS'.
