Contrary to once popular belief, this song is not about marijuana. It is actually about a girl who takes up witchcraft. Eventually, she wants to get out of it and in an effort to do so, she confesses to her father, who not only doesn't forgive Mary Jane, but buries her alive. That's why she haunts the forest.

Contrary to popular beleif this song is NOT about marijuana. It's about a girl who takes up witchcraft, to which her father disowns her. She commits suicide and haunts the forest where she practiced witchcraft

ok... possibly... I think it's pretty ambigous though... Mary Jane is an euphemism for marijuana Its basically about marijuana induced neurosis and lung cancer
