Drug Songs

[asymm]

Just helping a friend out here with his playlist, I'm trying to find a bunch of songs about drugs. Here's specifically what he was looking for:
By drugs I mean everything from stimulants like nicotine/caffeine to cocaine/meth to alcohol to benzodiazepines (heroine, morphine, etc) to marijuana (obviously).

List 'em up! Any genre, any style, drugs are the only criteria. The more explicit, the better. Especially if it details specific effects of the drug.
