Have you ever watched the sun go down?
And you're thinking bout' the world spinning round
Have you ever been high as fuck?
You're in the bathroom mirror talking to yourself
And your dog's looking at you like you need help
Have you ever been high as fuck?
And then you feel your heart pumping really fast 
And you're convinced that you're gonna have a heart attack
Have you ever been high as fuck?
You close your eyes and you're on a chicken farm
The only problem's that the chickens have human arms
You say "that's fucked up, why do the chickens have human arms?"
You need snacks so you walk to the corner store 
But you're scared because you think that they will know you're high
So you walk around the block to buy some time
You finally decide to go into the store 
But you're so high you don't know why you're there anymore
So you just buy a pack of gum and get the hell out of there
You're walking home and you're mouth is dry
You should have bought some juice and snacks 
But you were too high
Thinkin' 'bout ketchup chips
And for some reason the game battleship
And you start thinking about how fun it was to play games 
like battleship when you were a kid 
and how, as we get older we forget how to play and just to enjoy ourselves
so you say "Guess What? I'm gonna make up a game right now
and it involves a baseball bat and a porcupine 
and I'm gonna try to kill a porcupine with a baseball bat
but then you don't know where to find a porcupine so 
you do a search on ebay but people don't sell porcupines on the internet
and you say "You know what world?" you've got me cornered again
I'm gonna roll another joint
You ever eat a whole bag of crackers that were so old
That they weren't crispy anymore?
Have you ever been high... as fuck?

The song is about sensation that comedian experienced after using a drug commonly known as marijuana. The symptoms that the artist describes such as decrease in short-term memory or sensation of dry mouth show us that he knows effects of that substation. Fact that he knows cannabis's affect on human body may tell us that either he had contact with this fatally dangerous drug on some period of his life or that he studied really deeply it's affection on our metabolism.

Mr. Lajoie in his description of his psycho-narcotic state also mentions the fact that he had increased appetite. It is also symptom very often mentioned by users of this drug, which once again indicates us that he must have had some kind of knowledge about cannabis before he wrote that song.

Besides those effects mentioned above the artists describes are also few that are not that common for marijuana users. In some point of the song he sings that at for a while, when he was on a "trip" he thought that he was on a "chicken farm". Moreover, he was "tripping" so hard that those immaginary chickens had "human arms". Although artist himself knew that what he saw was quite imposible (he manifests that by the qouting himself in the song "that's fucked up why the chikens have human arms) those kinds of visual hallucinations are really unlikley to happen after using of marijuana. They are more characteristic to strong psychoactive substantions as lysergic acid diethylamide, commonly known as LSD.

Also it's really unlikely for marijuana users to display violent behavior such as desire to kill a helpless animal with baseball bat. I think that those kinds of exaggerate effects of cannabis the artist described in order to discourage people to using that drug.
