I've just been loading some nostalgia onto the ipod, (thanks again BSG,) and came across this, it must rank as my favourite song about drugs....
What you get and what you see
Things that don't come easily
Feeling happy in my vein
Icicles are in my brain
(cocaine)
Something blowing in my hair
Winter's ice, it soon was dead
Death would freeze my very soul
Makes me happy, makes me cold
My eyes are blind, but I can see
The snowflakes glisten on the tree
The sun no longer sets me free
I feel there's no place freezing me
Let the winter sunshine on
Let me feel the frost of dawn
Fill my dreams with flakes of snow
Soon I'll feel the chilling go
Don't you think I know what I'm doing
Don't tell me that it's doing me wrong
You're the one who's really a loser
This is where I feel I belong
Crystal world with winter flowers
Turn my days to frozen hours
Lying snowblind in the sun
Will my ice age ever come?
Yours?

Not my fav but a goodun, don't know if I have a fav...
Deal gone South...
Grew up with some Brown...
One from LJs neck of the woods...
A statement on entrepreneurial ingenuity...
the last (to let someone else have a chance) from our favorite gun advocate...

Reminds me of a scene in "Mr Popper's Penguins"
Jim Carrie in his endeavours to sweet talk an old lady into selling her restaurant to his company asks her if she hasn't ever dreamed of retiring and taking life easy. Has she never
"pictured yourself in a boat? On a river. . . with tangerine trees and . . . marmalade skies?"
To which she replies:
"I don't do drugs"

Now, if the question had been, "Fave song while on drugs"...
My answer would have been quite simple...
Just about anything by Pink Floyd....

Posted another version of this in the "Sex and Drugs and Rock 'n Roll" thread....seems appropriate here as well....(I'm embarrassed to admit I saw this bunch live in the late 70's....don't remember a whole lot of it...)

Mick poking fun at those that point fingers...
If I had to call 1 my favorite I guess this would be it.
Prine pining away...
Then there are those that just can't help but sugar coat it...
By the same guys but I like em both...
Who knows...
Before I was [a] gleam in my daddies eye...
