In my honest opinion, I don't think this song is to do with drugs at all - especially not heroin or cocaine. That came later. The Beatles, at this time, were smoking pot consistently, even in the studio. It is quite obvious that they are inhaling, not exhaling, and I think they were just doing this to mess with the censors and see how far they could go. The same with the tit tit tit noise. It actually IS tit tit tit, not doot doot doot. George Harrison even said that they were trying to see how far they could go w/ the censors again. All these people saying that it couldn't be tit tit tit are wrong. It is.
My interpretation of this song isn't drugs, it's actually about a girl. It's like when you're so in love with someone, no matter how horrible they are to you, you stay with them because you're too attached. If you confront them about it, they promise to change. 'She promises the earth to me and I believe her, after all this time I don't know why'. It's basically a song about a girl who is slightly ignorant, who takes people for fools and messes with people, seeing how far she can push them, and maybe if something drastic like death occurred, she'd only start to believe how bad she was.
Girl is a sort of love song, I suppose he's saying how much he loves her and the sighing 'Ah, girl' is basically a sort of painful yet affectionate way. It's a beautiful song.
But it's not about cocaine.
