Songs About Drugs

It's not what you think... Yes, these songs all include either the word "Drug" or "Drugs" in their titles, but most of the drugs in question are anything but illegal nor are they the kind that are likely to be abused. Many of the songs compare the addictive qualities of someone's love as like unto a drug. Others still are actually referring to drugs of abuse but in a negative, say-no-to-them kind of way.
