Gotta love this song, I think its about a lot of different narcotics. each place they talk about has its different drug. cannabis, opium, heoin, cocaine, its all there somewhere

"This song always makes me think of those younger days when sparkin' up a fattie and listening to 2112 was considered a good way to spend an afternoon... Aaaahhh... Mmmmm......" This sounds like an ideal way to spend an afternoon IMO. I hope it still is. Is for me anyway. Rush Rocks

If you read the liner notes from the album, it says "With acknowledgment to the genius of Ayn Rand", which is obvious in the song "2112", but I've always if somehow it also applies to this song as well.

Most of the places mentioned in the second verse are unfamiliar with marijuana, and it's much more likely they'd be smoking various other plants out of a hookah.
