Try first-rate drug (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

crack

I believe this clue is a triple definition!

'try' is the first definition.
(I know that crack is a type of try)

'first-rate' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)

'drug' is the third definition.
(crack is a kind of drug)

(Other definitions for crack that I've seen before include "Ace" , "Fracture" , "Thin fissure or slangy joke" , "attempt" , "Take severe measures - . . . . . down on" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
