Old buccaneers ignoring right drugs (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

opiates

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'drugs' is the definition.
(opiate is a kind of drug)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for opiates that I've seen before include "Drugs that dull the feelings, sedatives" , "Poppy-derived drugs" , "Branch of narcotics" , "Sedative drugs" , "Narcotic drugs" .)
