Had no idea I should dig so deep for true meaning! A lot of songs that came out of this era had drug references - less hidden than these - that didn't seem to bother anyone. I remember my dad scoffing at the hippies and their marijuana, relating that when he was growing up in the thirties lots of people smoked it, tossing a blanket over their heads for maximum effect - nothing new here.
