If you go back and read my post, you might get some insight as to what we are talking about here. The song is about hypocrisy, not marijuana. Marijuana was just a vehicle or literary device for Maynard to talk about people committing atrocities and hiding behind laws or positions of power. Diverting our attention from their wrong doings by waving fingers and keeping the looking glass pointed the other way, and policing us.
Do yourself a favor and read up Kangaroo courts and what is happening in Guantanamo Bay, or find out who Black Kettle is and what happened to him. Why was he killed? Think about how that might relate to what is happening right now in the world. How that might relate to the US war in Iraq.
I know this stuff is tough for a 19 year old such as yourself to digest, and may include a sort of textual analysis you are not familiar with, but please stop spamming the TooL boards. Maynard has been writing theses types of songs long before you were aware TooL existed.
The song is definitely about hypocrisy by someone in a position of power. But it doesn't really care to name who that person is. Someone else commented that he is referring to his mother who would condemn him, calling him a refer, but didn't stop to look at herself. I think the song fits equally as well as a criticism on US foreign policy. I like that the person is unnamed because it allows us to apply it in a more general sense.

And nonetospeakof, why must you attempt publicly humiliate someone, especially somewhere as anonymous as an internet forum? It's easy for people to talk trash when they can hide safely behind their computer screens.
Trexor,

Yes, because every song written after 2003 has to do with the US/Iraq war and Bush. You're a fucking moron.
