Hareem, I hope you are aware of the somewhat controversial connotations attacted to 'Puff the Magic Dagon' ?
Peace Milly
A word is meaningless unless it takes the meaning you want from it. Those who see the meaning in the metaphoric songs are but subject to their own experiences of 'controversy' or in the very least have taken the trouble to seek out 'contraversial' reflex terms. Either way children are immune to it until they find out ... I couldn't hazard a guess to determine which of the druggies out there were youthful fans of this song and which T-totallers were not!
