Drug instead of Dragged sounds wrong to me (British).
Dialecticon suggests that it's only really found in US and Canada, and is rare even there.

Looking at the plural, it may have originated in Canada:

And looking at the plain word suggests the same. (Obviously, most uses of the word "drug" are not in this form, but the ratio to dragged is useful.)
