..well at least some of us do. Which leads me to this top five. Without delving into my own past lets just say this was a hard list to make because it could have be a top twenty or thirty easily and with that your top 5 topic for this post is “What are your top five favorite songs about drugs”. It can be songs against drugs like Social D’s Drug Train or songs about enjoying drugs. It’s up to you. By now everyone knows how this goes but just in case you’ve been under a rock: I post this little top five, you listen to it, while you are listening to it you share your top five songs on the topic with the rest of us…
