#1 top rated interpretation:The song is about Ozzies' culinary skill,and love for the herb called sage, and its delicious flavor enhancing abilities, when use in making marinara, and pork dishes.Its definitely not about spliffs.

Marijuana---weed-grass-pot-----plain and simple----he (ozzy) is singing about how people don't know how great weed is a soon everyone will love weed----thats what the lyrics say----simple as that
