Given year inside, ready for the old trim? (6)

I have pr??ne. I have "crack" as the solution to 14 across - "pot or cocaine, highly addictive form of it" (5) but this would give me the third letter of 3 down as "a". Can't find anything to fit. Presumably there is a "y" in there somewhere for year.

Help.

proyne
That wouldn't allow crack though
Given = prone. Add Y for year. Proyne means ready for trimming so seems good
Sorry, proyne (alt spelling of proin) means to prune
crock might fit the pot part of 14a but not the cocaine bit as far as I can see
Yes, i'd go for CROCK (pot). The wordplay could be C (for cocaine) and ROCK (addictive form of cocaine)
Seems an unusual bit of wordplay there though, though cruciverbalists may be familiar with it
