Comments on the clue
1.No marks from me to any entry that clues "junkie" in its direct meaning of "addict". Decapitalisation of IT an issue too.
2.Too obscure wordplay and can 'it' = 'IT'?
3.A good idea, but 'it' does not equal 'IT'
4.Nice homophone, but "it" is not "IT"
5.A stretch to arrive at this through the homophone; IT does need capitalisation
6.Wordplay seems a bit hit and miss to be fair and definition as intended seems too narrow – IT should be capitalised in any case.
