I lol'd a good lol at kingmikeking's comment. He's dead on. The Stones have said that they never wrote songs about drugs, and for some of them you could make the case that they're not about drugs, even though they are (Before They Make Me Run, Rocks off to name a couple), but for Sister Morphine for the love of god, come on, what else could it be?

That kind of thinking is reductive and usually comes from an intent to diminish the contributions of that musician for some reason or another.
