"Got To Get You Into My Life" is not about marijuana.
Some biographer of Paul McCartney's said that this was the case. I detest the notion that some people have fallen for this! No one would write a cute little sentimental love song about a plant that grows in the ground, even if it makes you stoned. It's obvious meaning, to anyone who reads the lyrics, is about meeting someone and wanting to spend more time with them.

1. what is Black Sabbath's "Sweetleaf" about?
It would sorta ruin that McCartney song if I thought it was about Mary Jane, unless it was Mary Jane Watson. 'Face it tiger, you just hit the jackpot' indeed! However, I cannot remember very many of the lyrics. I suppose I can dig out my "Wings over America" album.

4. Good grief
tobacco is far worse than pot.

2. Paul said it WAS about pot!
In the Beatles Anthology book, they talk about the fact that the press at the time was trying to say the song was about tripping on LSD. McCartney said "No, that one was about pot actually"

Besides, what would an Oasis fan like yourself know about Beatles lyrics anyway? ;)
