List of songs about drugs
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
|
This list includes songs written about, or commonly associated with, psychoactive drugs.
Sometimes a singer or composer may say that a song that has been associated with drugs or drug culture is not actually about drugs. "Puff, the Magic Dragon" is an example of this situation. These songs are included, and the controversy surrounding them is noted on the list.
Songs are categorized by the type of drug they concern and listed alphabetically within each category.
The Other drugs section contains songs with nonspecific drug references, songs about less-commonly-referenced drugs, and songs referencing more than one drug.
