Doodad, can you verify some sources where The Beatles said it wasn't about weed? I would be interested to find these. As for the song, I don't know why there's so much discussion over whether or not this song is about weed. Numerous times Paul said it was so I doubt he would care that much to continue lying as a joke. Personally, this is my favorite song about marijuana, especially since it's so much more subtle and enjoyable than all of the other "in your face", boorish songs about pot that artists create these days.
