Pretty much what you'd expect - a cache of illicit drugs. Though here,
marijuana is legal, so it sometimes is used in reference to that, too.

I think the suspicion is that they only cripple the older hardware, not
the latest versions. There may well be perfectly valid explanations (ie
they don't test old hardware as thoroughly with the latest drivers)
- but it doesn't stop people thinking it is on purpose.
