Having injected a drug, grew fast (4,2)

I believe the answer is:

shot up

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'having injected a drug' is the first definition.

'grew fast' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for shot up that I've seen before include "Grew quickly" , "very quickly got high" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
