What's your favorite drug-related song? It can be either pro or con (e.g., P.R & Raiders' Kicks). Songs that are not about drugs or drug experiences but just happen to be good for getting stoned to do not count.

I'll cast my first votes (you can have as many as you want) for Rainy Day Women and the No-No Song.

Psychotic Reaction - Count Five
or
Too much to dream last night - Electric Prunes
or
Purple haze - Hendricks

Anyone taking this trip would have completely missed the 60s.

top 5
1)velvet underground, "heroin", the demo outtakes off "peel here" being my favorite version.
2) dylan's, "rainy day women #12 & #35"
3) johnny cash - "cocaine blues"
4) clapton - "cocaine"
5) hendrix - "purple haze"

honorable mention to "white light/white heat" by the underground and yes, d'angelo's "brown sugar"

the doors "light my fire" is excluded due to the fact i've heard it way too many *******ed times.

2. Cocaine -- Again Obvious, but I was NOT in lust with Clapton
