I use mainly "drug."
"Dragged" sounds a little off to me.
It's funny you mention this, b/c something been weirding me out a little lately. I keep reading in various articles that someone "pleaded guilty" or "pleaded not guilty."
I've always thought it was "pled" when used in this manner.
I always thought one has "pled" guilty or not guilty, but one "pleaded with" a person from whom one wanted something.
Example - I've never heard of this person, before here's an example usage I just saw today:
"Grammy-nominated rapper Remy Ma pleaded not guilty to attempted murder..."
