If you smoked weed in the early 2000s you probably heard this song at least once as it was probably brought up to you by a fellow stoner saying, "He dude. Have you heard that song, Because I Got High?" This was followed buy you, and any other stoners you were with, all gathering around the computer and searching for the song or music video, depending on your internet connection. Probably just the song though.

The song is actually a cautionary tale about smoking pot and wasting your life away. There is an extended version on the song where Afroman refers to skin-heads giving him head...sort of. Another interesting note, is Kevin Smith (director of the Clerks movies among many others) directed this video.

Not only is this song about drugs but it is more accurately and ballad about addition and the addictions people can have to just about anything. Drugs, media, relationships, technology and the list goes on. Saying we are all on drugs might not be too far from the truth as we all seem to be addicted to something to help stimulate us through our day.

Aww LSD and reference to Alice in Wonderland. What could be more appropriate. If this song isn't straight forward telling you about an LSD trip, then you tell me what it's about.

This song was written by RHCP's singer Anthony Kiedis. The members of the band all dealt with their share of drugs and addictions in the late 80's and eventually Anthony got sober while much of the rest of the band did not. This song is a sad view he had and the loneliness he felt after being estranged from his bandmates and friends who were still doing drugs at the time while leaving him to deal with the pain of being sober alone. 

The video interestingly depicts a disjointed story that seems to start with police surrounding an apparent suicide of Chester having thrown himself form a high building and landed on a car as well as a women in an apartment opening a drug filled case and some guy getting tomatoes thrown at him then things get weird. 

On a side note, the late Chester Bennington was unable to perform this popular song live as he had very emotional reactions to it.

MGMT have some "interesting" videos to say the least and this one's no different. Bohemians dancing around a fire on the beach and then some psychedelic effects and various images to emphasize a, sort of, party aesthetic.

Though it sounds like a friendly song about kids playing, the references to chocking on vomit let you know there is a more sinister message here. With lyrics like: I'll move to Paris, shoot some heroin and fuck with the stars, you man the island and the cocaine and the elegant cars.

Starting is his early days Snoop Dogg was exclusively known for for his gangster rap, hood anthems, and this one was probably one of the more mainstream songs that got radio play. 

With lyrics like: Rolling down the street, smokin' indo, sippin' on gin and juice.

We all know this "indo" he's talking about is the pot smoking that he is fairly famous for. 

Purple Haze is said to be a legendary strain of Marijuana that has immense psychoactive effects, so who could blame people for thinking this song is about that. The title and the song itself seems to spell it out, though Hendrix said this is a love song.

This is a cover of the Nine Inch Nails song done by Johnny Cash.
I chose this version and not the NIN version because there is no official music video for the original NIN version, other than a few live performances, and this version won Cash a posthumous Grammy Award, so this one seemed to win out.
The Song's about the struggles of drug addiction, which Cash certainly had some experience with. It is a look into Trent Reznor's dark exploration of the psychic consequences of heroine addiction according to the NIN front-man. 

This song was a hit rave party song about a decade ago and it seems fitting that it has at lease a little, if not a lot, to do with a certain drug. The yellow diamonds that Rihanna refers to in the song are actually references to the crystals in the drug M.D.M.A. A.K.A. ecstasy. For those of you that have never tried ecstasy, it is a drug that would be favorable to help you fall in love in a hopeless place.

Tom Petty never actually said the song is about the marijuana, which Mary Jane is definitely a slang term for, but we all know that has been a pretty popular opinion on this song. The video doesn't really show that, but all music and these videos are, is just one big metaphor anyways.

I chose the Hole version instead of the original Fleetwood Mac version because the Hole version has better imagery.

When asked what the song is about, Stevie Nicks responded, "It can't all be about cocaine." Though there are many interpretations to what the song is about, the most popular is the idea of a woman succumbing to drugs after a bad break up seems to lead the way.

Despite having one of the most intense openings to an 80's glam rock song, Dr. Feelgood tells the story of a Hollywood drug dealer on his way up and then on his way down. The video basically spells it out for you as well.

The band claimed to be sober at the time they wrote this song (not sure I believe that). This is Nikki Sixx's ode to drug dealers.

This song seems to point out the  banality of life, so why not get high to drowned it all out and move through the pointless day to the next one, and the next one, and the next one...

With lyrics: "Your friends are high right now. Your parents are high right now. That hot chick's high right now. That cop is high right now. The president's are high right now. Your priest is high right now. Everyone's high as fuck right now and no one's ever coming down", it seems that we all might as well be high if we aren't already.

Finally we hit the nail right on the head with a song speaking directly to a heroine junky.

Interestingly enough, if you search the chorus lyrics, "Heroine is so passé" you can find a YouTube video of the tambourine players tits bouncing from the video, set to repeat ever few seconds while the song plays. The comments on the video are about as entertaining as the video itself.
