Talk drugs, mustard and marsh, say? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gases

'mustard and marsh say?' is the definition.
(mustard gas and marsh gas are types of gas)

'talk drugs' is the wordplay.
'talk' becomes 'gas' (I've seen this before**).
'drugs' becomes 'es' (E is a term for an ecstasy pill).
'gas'+'es'='GASES'

(Other definitions for gases that I've seen before include "rabbits" , "Such as radon and neon" , "Cruelly kills" , "Eg, O, H, Ne, CO, etc." , "Neon, oxygen, etc" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
