“I thought “White Rabbit” was about LSD”

LSD is a colorless product whereas heroin can be black, brown or white and comes from the same drugs as morphine. There have been a number of songs relating to smack or horse:

Neil Young: The Needle and the Damage Done

Velvet Underground: Heroin
Sinead O’Connor and U2: Heroin
Pink Floyd: Comfortably Numb
The Ramones: Chinese Rock

The only song on that list that I am familiar with is James Brown's "King Heroin" (1972).

This tune is about psychotropic drugs, including cocaine, and possibly heroin.

Junker Blues--Champion Jack Dupree (1941). You might be familiar with a much tamer version:

The Fat Man--Fats Domino (1950)
