Folk music, perhaps more than any other genre, is a reflection of the culture of the people. And to be blunt, people like drugs. Therefore, it is not surprising that there is a long history of drugs in Folk songs, from the bawdy drinking songs of Ireland to the Blues cocaine ballads of the American South, and all vices in between.
Three common drugs that are sung about in folk music are marijuana, cocaine, and heroin.
Marijuana in Folk Music
Drugs are forever associated with the counter-culture of the 1960’s. Also associated with that time is folk music. But while LSD was the drug in ‘sex drugs and rock and roll,’ folk music was not as involved in it. If anything, the drug of choice was marijuana, and was generally not an influence until the merging of Folk and Rock in the late 1960’s and early 70‘s.
Below are two examples of marijuana oriented songs from the late 60’s and early 70’s, “Panama Red” and “Rainy Day Women #12 & 35.”
