Jim Horne notes:

41-Across: "Designating a drug on the market" for UNSOLD?

Long before it strictly meant medicine or narcotics, a "drug on the market" (or drug in the market) was a common English idiom. It refers to any commodity that is in such oversupply that demand has completely collapsed, making it virtually worthless and impossible to get rid of.
