Hallucinogenic drug making one play around in waste water (6)
I believe the answer is:
peyote
'hallucinogenic drug' is the definition.
(I know that peyote is a type of hallucinogenic drug)
'play around in waste water' is the wordplay.
'play' becomes 'toy' (synonyms).
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'waste water' becomes 'pee' (synonyms. I am not sure about the 'waste' bit.).
'toy' in reverse letter order is 'yot'.
'yot' put inside 'pee' is 'PEYOTE'.
'making one' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for peyote that I've seen before include "Hallucinogenic cactus; eye pot (anag.)" , "Hallucinogenic drug from Mexican cactus" , "Mescal, a cactus" , "Cactus hallucinogen" .)
