'Allo, thought I'd take a crack at a nagging Klingon question of mine...

Drugs are a moderately taboo topic in the ST world, but nevertheless in
any somewhat believable SF society they must at least be acknowledged.
Are there any Klingon words for drugs in general, or specific chemicals
that are in use?  Any slang expressions like 'to get high' or whatever?
Just moderately curious... I suppose Klingons get their kicks out of
physical exercise/combat/pain/etc., so maybe in reference to Terrans?
