I'm not up on my drug slang, but judging by the other responses, if "riding the horse" means what I think it means...

"Times of Trouble" by Temple of the Dog. Although, it doesn't advocate doing heroin, so it might not be what you're looking for.

Golden Brown - The Stranglers.

Lol. I think it's a metaphor for other things, namely achieving spiritual freedom and enlightenment. And according to Dylan himself, it was inspired by an actual guy playing the tambourine.

I don't believe this song is about heroin, same goes for "Brown Sugar."

I only see one clear choice:

Heroin-"The Velvet Underground"

Er...certainly not "best", but might as well include "Victim or the Crime" by the Grateful Dead.

How do these songs reference heroin? Although I'll grant you, "Yellow Submarine" is the best song about living in a yellow submarine.
