No question, its "White Lines (don't do it)" by Grandmaster Flash and Melle Mel
But why the obsession with recreational pharmaceuticals anyway?

The LAs - There She Goes... (?)
That Velvet Underground tune Heroin is really really good, The Stones - Sister Morphine is good too, one of my favourites though is
Harry 'The Hipster' Gibson - Who put the benzedrine in Mrs Murphy's ovaltine, found it on some weird jazz/blues compilation, very good

Of course there is, LA Guns (one half of what became Guns'N'Roses I believe) had a song called that. How do I know? google, how else...

I think all these tunes deserve a mention;
My Brother's a Basehead by De La Soul
Cocaine In My Brain by Dillinger
Feel Good Hit Of The Summer by Queens of The Stone Age
Star Guitar by The Chemical Brothers
Floating by Jape
Oh and most of the first two Cypress Hill albums as well.
