Thanks !
Yes i knew about the marijuana colelction, but i think it's ok like that. later if we have enough songs it might be good to categorize according to specific drugs.

That's really cool ! :) and thanks for notifying. :)

This group was mainly created for illegal drugs, having generally a bad effect on health (no alcohol, or chocolate, or coffee, or sex, or cigarettes...)
But of course, this could also be true for legal drugs, the only distinction being legal/illegal in today's law

Well, we could do as you say and split between legal and illegal drugs,
or split between some types of drugs, as majijuana already and has its own collection.
I have here mainly Heroin and cocaine, plus (any) drug effect on people.But there are a lot.

Just tell what you would prefer.

Different collections for different drugs?
I wasn't aware of there already being a collection on marijuana.
I suppose that would be a good idea then for me to restrict my collection to songs about alcohol.
The following songs could be added to this collection here or to new ones, but many of them are about drugs in general and don't really specify which one (or if they do, not in a clear enough way for me to know):
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Beatles-Lucy-sky-Diamonds-lyrics.html (LSD)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Jefferson-Airplane-White-Rabbit-lyrics.html (unspecified)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/alligatoah-wir-ham-gold-goldfieber-lyrics... (heroine or unspecified)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/adel-tawil-aschenflug-lyrics.html (unspecified)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/black-sabbath-snowblind-lyrics.html (cocaine)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/neil-young-needle-and-damage-done-lyrics.... (heroine)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/alice-chains-godsmack-lyrics.html (unspecified)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/alice-chains-real-thing-lyrics.html (unspecified, probably cocaine)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Metallica-Master-Puppets-lyrics.html (unspecified)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/buckcherry-lit-lyrics.html (cocaine)
https://lyricstranslate.com/en/Eric-Clapton-Cocaine-lyrics.html (cocaine)

oh, didn't think drug collections will go that far.
AIC's Godsmack is h; demo for Real Thing is called literaly "H", but has clear coke references. Metallica's Master of Puppets has both coke and h references.

Could you guess what this song is talking about besides drugs?

https://lyricstranslate.com/en/guns-n-roses-mr-brownstone-lyrics.html

Group guitarists Slash and Izzy Stradlin wrote the tune while they were sitting around Stradlin's apartment complaining about their addictions to heroin, for which "Brownstone" is a slang term.

The lyrics make a clear reference to the tolerance that the drug causes: "I used to do a little, but a little wouldn't do it, so the little got more and more." They wrote the lyrics on the back of a grocery bag and brought it to Axl Rose. Slash said the lyrics describe a typical day in the life of Slash and Stradlin. He also states that it was the first song the band wrote after being signed by Geffen Records.
