well think about it, it starts off in 1976 in Jamaica when he found that he liked mary (marijuana) contrary to what his mothers been telling him growing up (don't smoke weed, it's bad)
she was a mountain girl (grown in the mountains)
boy when u first met met you were as green as a mango tree (you had some good weed before but now you've had real jamaican weed - now you're a man)
the chorus says that you can smoke all the california weed you want but you still won't get as high as you were in JA
now he's older has no more family had a few mistakes in life but he remembers a time where he was truely happy (and high) so he went back to JA and went to the bar and asked the bartender for some weed but since then it was criminalized and everyone in the bar remember the time when they all smoked it
...anyway, that's just how i hear it...
