Just curious... where do you get that from? I know the heroin reference, but could be missing the obvious...

There's a bunch actually

Let it Bleed: "when you need a little coke and sympathy"

a few off Sticky Fingers

Can't You Hear me Knockin: "ya got cocaine eyes"

Sister Morphine is more about opiates, morphine and heroin and the such but it does have the line "sweet cousin cocaine lay your cool cool hand on my head"

and the other one about cocaine, or speed anyway, I can think off off the top of my head is Sweet Virgina with the "and I hid the speed inside my shoe" line. Mother's Little Helper is about speed also

Then many other songs reference heroin, like Dead Flowers (being in a basement with a needle and a spoon), Rocks Off ("can't even feel the pain no more"), and some say Brown Sugar is about brown heroin

There's probably more. The Stones loved some drug refs in songs

2000 man

Well, my name is a number
A piece of plastic film
And I'm growin' funny flowers
In my little window sill

Don't you know I'm a 2, 000 man
And my kids, they just don't understand me at all

Yep. Thank you for confirming.

I always stop paying attention after the opening line which is one of the best Blues/Rock song lines ever.

Mother's Little Helper is obviously about valium
Speed doesn't "tranquilize your mind"
