The song is about slaves taken from Africa and sold in New Orleans as they say in the song "sold in the market down in New Orleans" and the owners rape them they say in the song "you should have heard it just around midnight". The words Brown Sugar is an other name for a black woman. You also know it's sexual when he says "how come you taste so good just like a black girl should."

Mick Jagger and Marsha Hunt were also having an affair during this time as his relationship with Marianne Faithfull was deterioting. The black slave part is true as well. I couldn't vouche for the heroin theme, although it is a recurring theme.
