pedrada


Explanation:
Em PT-PT, se o termo estiver efectivamente entre aspas no texto.

Também se diz "pedra", "moca".

Para PT-BR não funcionaria, penso que não tem de todo essa tradução, mas talvez sirva no futuro para um texto, mais informal, em PT-PT... ;)

estado alterado de consciência


Explanation:
O "high" seria a gíria para o termo "altered state of of consciousness". Da mesma forma, no português, o "barato/chapado" está para "estado alterado de consciência".
Aí a tua escolha vai depender da natureza do texto, se é mais formal ou informal.

a "viagem"


Explanation:
Novamente, é preciso um termo informal para manter o astral do texto original. A gíria que se usa no Brasil para drogas é "viagem", ou "barato", conforme sugerido pela Jane.
