anyone who ignores the drug references in this song is an idiot. the words are clearly drug-related. does that mean the song is about drug use? no. it's called a metaphor, and i'm sure we've all heard of it. harper, to me, is trying to get across his message of "i'll do what i want and you shouldn't care if it's not harming you" (which everyone has touched on) by using smoking pot as his analogy. the song is about drugs, but also so much more.
