Slow Gherkin was a band with ties to Santa Cruz, and I saw them a few times there in the mid-1990s. Myers Flat is a community in Humboldt County that in the 1990s was strongly supported by the then-illicit recreational cannabis production industry. Blatz was a down-market beer brand that became a generic word for cheap beer in the punk scene. The song seems like observational stream of consciousness about being very high somewhere one does not want to be, with an element of paranoia about being busted. I don't know if they ever made it out of Myers Flat.
