Zoiado/soyado/soiado/zoyado?

This is a word I sometimes hear though have never seen in writing. I can't find it in the dictionary, so I'm not sure of the spelling. Is it Portuguese? I can deduce that it means slightly compromised/a little bit crazy/adled. Has anyone seen or heard this word?

Sollado, con "elie" caribeña, porque es de esas partes. Es algo como nuestro local "sacado", como que tiene la razón paspada, rozada o agrietada, o sea, chiflado al natural, o descerebrado por las drogas.

It's 'supposed' to be Spanish. It's spelled "sollado". It's Caribbean slang.

In Colombia it's pretty common with the meaning of "drogado". Something like "stoned", "high".

In other places it means "nut", "weirdo".

Thank you both. I couldn't find it anywhere until Alec informed me it was
spelled sollado. Even then this apparently obscure term was hard to find.

Your help is appreciated.
