Pressure too much, in case (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pod

'case' is the definition.
(I know that pod is a type of husk)

'pressure too much' is the wordplay.
'pressure' becomes 'p' (abbreviation).
'too much' becomes 'od' (abbreviation for overdose).
'p'+'od'='POD'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for pod that I've seen before include "Natural container for pea" , "A pea grows in it" , "A long seed-vessel" , "Seed case; whale herd" , "Seed case of peas" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
