This has got absolutely nothing to do with drugs. Mr Starbuck was first mate on the Pequod - the whaling ship in the novel "Moby Dick" by Herman Melville.
The Nantucket Sleighride of the title is how whalers referred to their boats being dragged along behind a harpooned whale.
@Massapequa HA! The song was actually about the whaling ship Essex and Owen Coffin who was eaten by his shipmates. Robin Marie was his girlfriend that he left for a three year whaling tour onboard the ship Essex.
