PS did you think the Rohypnol clue was unfair, or just tasteless?

Bit near the knuckle?

Bluegrass is both a (broad type of) forage crop, and a music style traditionally founded by Bill Monroe.

Rohypnol is stereotypically a date rape drug, so 'use(d) by date'.

Gotcha. I didn't realise that there was a crop called bluegrass.

La belle dame sans merci back in US teen TV show with energy pathway for transmitting pictures.

No idea on this. I was wondering if "us" was actually "US", and perhaps if, therefore, the TV show was "Glee". But that's as far as I've got.

[Wyatt Earp]

Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

Ah, I see Nef's actually changed "us" to "US". So I may be on the right track.

[Wyatt Earp]

Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

I think the "energy pathway" thing is new too?

[Nefertiti2]

Friday Cryptic Crossword Game

US is US, and has been for some time. (I corrected it as soon as I got to a proper computer.) Glee is not the only teen show on US TV

This needs a bit of repunctuating /creative use of space.
