Под

A funny picture about three different uses of the preposition "под" (under).



All three answers are, or seem to be, correct. "Под" with cities means "near", "in the outskirts of", and "под" is used with psychoactive substances where English uses "on".

На наркотиках means addiction. Tot the situation in this wery moment. I've never heard под наркотиками, but you can easily say под кайфом :) Or под марихуаной/героином/ЛСД, meaning that a person is under the influence of a prcise drug in this moment.
