Trick to snort some drug in (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

congruent

'trick to snort some drug in' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'trick to snort some drug in' is the wordplay.
'trick' becomes 'con' (I've seen this before).
'to snort' becomes 'grunt'.
'some drug' becomes 'e' (e is another name for ecstasy).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'grunt' placed around 'e' is 'gruent'.
'con'+'gruent'='CONGRUENT'

(Other definitions for congruent that I've seen before include "In harmony with" , "In agreement" , "perfectly fit" , "Corresponding with" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
