This is all about escapism. Check the California imagery, the romanticizing about chilling out and compare it to where the singer is now...living in the city (evidenced by the alley), bad nights and not being able to love anyone else because he can't love himself.
It would seem easy to just say this song is about getting high but I think it can also cover any form of escapism.
