Okay, the drug reference is not important to the interpretation of this song. It's not about getting high. It's about the struggle with the broken relationship and her trying to cope with the separation. Obviously people use drugs when emotionally upset and it usually doesn't help, just clouds the mind. The whole song is state of bravado where her confidence in her ability to carry on is so thin that all it takes is just looking down and reality destroys her.
