With cold, not on various drugs: drink from this (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coffeepot

'with cold not on various drugs drink from this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'drugs drink from this' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drugs' could be 'pot' (slang term for mariujana) and 'pot' is found within the answer.
'drink' could be 'coffee' (coffee is a kind of drink) and 'coffee' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

(Other definitions for coffeepot that I've seen before include "Hot drink dispenser" , "Percolator" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
