Hi,

I came across the phrase "stung out on drugs" while reading an article about a rock band. I looked up in several dictionaries and found that "string out" means 'to be in a line with space in between', but I couldn't find any example with the preposition "on" and still don't understand the phrase in the article. Please help.

Thanks,

Nawee
