There's a history there. Difficult as it may seem to believe, people sometimes read more into lyrics than are actually there, particularly for famous artists. Peter, Paul and Mary were accused of promoting marijuana use through 'Puff', and the dirt stuck despite their protests.

Where's the controversy?
I’m curious about your opinion of what counts for sex. I recently had this come up in a story I wrote.
Yes, unless you can phrase your response in the form of an opinion
