Music back then was full of drug references because drugs were so popular with the hippie subculture.
One song that pops readily into my head is "White Rabbit", also sometimes called "Go Ask Alice", which was a single by Jefferson Airplane that came out in 1967. It is all about drugs. I include the lyrics below so that you can see for yourself.
White Rabbit--Jefferson Airplane
One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell 'em a hookah smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice
When she was just small
When men on the chessboard
Get up and tell you where to go
And you've just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving low
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the White Knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's "off with her head!"
Remember what the dormouse said:
"Feed your head
Feed your head
Feed your head"
The whole "feed your head" thing is a reference to psychedelic drugs, like LSD, which are thought to expand the mind.

1968? Most of the Beatles songs, Jimmie Hendrix, almost half of the good rock songs were either related to or influenced by drugs.
