Cover art for Sweet Leaf lyrics by Black Sabbath

I can't believe there is an arguement over what this song is about. Know-it-alls would like to believe that everything they read is true, totally disregarding the fact that maybe things were written in the booklet to mislead certain people intentionally? This is a love song for cannabis. Straight up. That and the one time I saw Black Sabbath live where ozzy didn't bail out there was a gigathemntic clock that came up on the screen behind that read "4:19" and right before they started 'sweet leaf', when it started it flipped to "4:20". That and fog machines. The messed up part is that this sounds like one of the deepest love songs in metal. It's so sweet lol.
