According to a very legitimate source of mine, Harold Brown, drummer of WAR, the misconstrued lyrics are "take that pearl". "Pearl" in essence meaning a woman's vagina or clitoris, or if she is a virgin, her virginity.
Everybody interprets a song in their own way, according to their life experiences. For me, the song is exactly what it's saying. He was walking, needed to rest, fell asleep in a field, started dreaming about all kinds of women, a spanish speaking lady comes to him in his dream, offers him a good time with wine, and his choice of any "pearl" that's there and take it.
Whether, he fell asleep because of smoking weed or other drugs is up to the individual listener's interpretation, but it doesn't say that in the song.
