Recreational drug (7)

I believe the answer is:

tobacco

(Other definitions for tobacco that I've seen before include "Nicotine plant imported by Sir Walter Raleigh" , "Narcotic leaf plant" , "Eg, shag or snuff" , "Smoker's leaves" , "20 [CASTRO] 's favourite leaves" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
