some kind of a spirit...

Polish translation:"dykta", jagodzianka na kościach, salicylek
Explanation:
tak mi się wydaje, że jest to tego rodzaju "specyfik". Przydałoby się więcej kontekstu, ale zobacz:

"... The weed killer gradually ate away his internal organs ... and NEED that I had for drugs
and alcohol had disappeared ... be born again...born of the Spirit." Your spirit ...

marihuana


Explanation:
Are sure it is SPIRIT?
both 'weed' and 'killer' are (US) street names for marihuana/PCP. Also 'killer weed'.

Choć oczywiście możliwe są różne lokalne wersje, ludzie w pomysłowy sposób lubią nzywać swoje ulubione używki :)

Podaję dwa linki do slangu ulicznego.

  -> palić się dają, tylko wypić nie bardzo.
disagree  Tomasz Tluczkiewicz: "killer weed" OK, ale "weed killer" nikodem. to tylko srodek chwastobójczy

neutral  PAS: "tylko wypić nie bardzo" - jak najbardziej na Jamajce praktykuje się robienie herbatki z liści marijuany
