What songs are the prototypical representative of various drugs?

I mean this more qualitatively than what the song is named or referred to as. Looking for what best musically encapsulates or simulates the effects for a class of drugs.

Like I would say the musical equivalent of codeine or morphine maybe is Gymnopedie #1 but also much of Satie's work is opioidergic/narcotish in my opinion

Coil has an album of four tracks each designed to replicate the effect of specific psychoactive drugs:

1."7-Methoxy-β-Carboline: (Telepathine)"

2."2,5-Dimethoxy-4-Ethyl-Amphetamine: (DOET/Hecate)"

3."5-Methoxy-N,N-Dimethyltryptamine: (5-MeO-DMT)"

  1. "4-Indolol, 3-[2-(Dimethylamino)Ethyl], Phosphate Ester: (Psilocybin)"

They are remarkable meditative pieces even without the drug angle but if you are familiar with psychedelics it might take you a little further.

I've long considered "Guest House" by Daughters to be a good representation of some kind of deliriant like meth.
