Everyone here has blindly accepted the whole "drugs are bad, mmmkay?" line.
This song is not anti drug or depressing. I don't see it as specifically about cocaine (an unquestionably terrible drug) at all, that doesn't open any doors. Hallucinogens do. It feels like I always do when trying to convince girls to do drugs. I know it will be fun and beneficial for them, but I know I'm doing it primarily to get them to loosen up, understand me, and ultimately sleep with me. Thus the sleepy "common, just try it" tone, with a mix of guilt for being dishonest and being convinced that the singer is correct.
And he's saying that if he fell in love that would transcend any high, and it does. A beautiful message.
