Ecstasy legal, end of dubious extracts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

elicits

'extracts' is the definition.
('elicit' can be a synonym of 'extract')

'ecstasy legal end of dubious' is the wordplay.
'ecstasy' becomes 'E' (informal term for the drug).
'legal' becomes 'licit' (similar in meaning).
'end of' says to take the final letters.
The last letter of 'dubious' is 's'.
'e'+'licit'+'s'='ELICITS'

(Another definition for elicits that I've seen is " Draws out, response or information".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
