I reefer...er, refer you to "Pot Smoker's Song" from <i>Velvet Gloves and Spit</i> as proof of his stance. He's mentioned in interviews that he's not a drinker either. Neil's a sworn tee-totaler.

Everything Neil does should be hailed as sacred, itnt it? We just forgot.....We should all have our froggie slippers taken away for a week, and pray we will be forgiven....will try to be more 'Neilistic' from now on...so sorry....

He wasn't approved to advocate pot smoking when he sang the song for the first time on <i>Saturday Night Live</i>.<br><br>That being said, Jeff rightly pointed out that this is probably not the reason Diamond also didn't sing it, although it could've just been on the lyric sheet and he sang it without thinking/caring, like he did with the rest of the lyrics.

Diamond clearly has absolutely no concept that this song is a joke.

Wow.

Oh, producer DJ Ashba is also playing that wildly innapropriate/awesome guitar solo. DJ Ashba, is apparently the current holder of the Slash chair in Guns N Roses.

I encourage you all in the strongest possible terms to put “DJ Ashba” into Google Images, so you can get the same chuckle I just got.
