You guys are on drugs. "Strawberry letter 23" wasn't about drugs, it was about a state of consciousness. A way of existing. What it really was is a HIT!! At one point back in the day, this song was on every radio station in NEW YORK. AM, FM, soul, R&B,ROCK, ADULT CONTEMPORARY. Every station! Big in clubs too! Get remix version, made use of it possible in PRIME TIME. On my scale from 1-10, a strong 9.

I always thought it was about the trip he went on after dropping a strawberry flavored tab of acid.
