Cover art for Night Nurse lyrics by Gregory Isaacs

Metaphor for the soothing effect that results from the use of the users drug of choice. In Gregory's case CANNABIS is his night nurse.

My Interpretation

@greenwichpark made an account just to tell you that you're wrong regarding CANNABIS being his night nurse, it's well known Gregory Isaac had a problem with cocaine, google it yourself.

Cannabis "addiction" doesn't cause pain if you go without it.

@greenwichpark You're right about it being a metaphor, but night nurse is Cocaine, he was addicted to crack cocaine hence the song night nurse and Hard drugs
