Come on people. This is his most explicit song about drug use. It's not about sex or alcohol. "To use" is only ever used with drugs. It's probably why this was never officially released - usually he was much more poetic and hidden in his drug references. What i like about this is the groundbreaking dark lyrics he combines with such a traditional conservative folk melody. It's typical of his sardonic sense of humour and irony that he gives it such a flippant title.
It's hard to argue that this song isn't about drug use, however, he wrote this song in 1993(there are live performances of him playing it in early 1994). It's well documented that Elliott didn't start using hard drugs until 1999. And never officially released? It's on "New Moon".
