i will admit that it could very well be that drugs were the cause or at least part of the meaning behind the song in the sense that the song just talks about how hes upset with how his life turned out to put it in simple terms. the very first verse touches upon the fact that he doesnt really have anyone to turn to, he feels alone, that despite all his success and all the "friends" that were with him through all the good times arent really there anymore. At least thats one way to look at it. Then he talks about how he just sorta wrecked his life at an early age, hes grown up to see horrible things and hes only turning 28. So yea in a sense, it might touch upon heroine, but the meaning of this song can relate to someone whose depressed or headed down the wrong path because of something other than drugs. Thats why the songs great, because it doesnt matter what he personally may have done to end up that way.. its the fact that a lot of people, users or not, feel the same way about their own lives.
I really like what you have to say here. I'm not an addict, at least not to something like heroin, yet I know what he is talking about because I made a lot of bad decisions in my life, and I have come to realize just how rare friendship is. I think that his poems/lyrics always mean more than one thing. For him, his situation may be partially caused by heroin, but this is almost incidental. I mean, what caused him to want to take it to begin with? Why was he so addicted? ...

I think that you are right more that he is coming to realizations, quite painful ones, about his own life.
I just hate like everything that he was not able to turn his life around. But I am thankful for what we do have from him. RIP Layne.
