mellow-yellow

1. the putative use of the inside of a banana peel as a halucinagenic drug (a 1960's hoax that became connected with an urban legend about a song of a similar name after the debut of the said song, and susequently spawned more hoaxes, sense 2 is likely also linked to the song)

2. Lysergic acid diethylamide, a hallucinogenic drug

3. a five milligram tablet of valium (from the yellow color of the tablet)

I wouldn't waste my time with mellow-yellow if I were you.
