I think the drug reference is a clever euphamism - playing on the fact that drugs are often discussed in songs via talk of a woman. The first line is a reference to cards tho, thus gamling. And the major vices are considered to be Drink, Drugs, Gambling and Womanising.
I think it's about someone trying to escape from themselves within these vices instead of facing their demons.
I find the song in general has a really trancy feeling to it. The repeated descending guitar phrase, the over reverbed guitar sweeps and chugs.
