The lyrics of "Green Grass of California" talk about the protagonist's experiences with different types of marijuana. In the 70s, he smoked Panama Red and Sinsemilla, which made him feel high. Then, he mentions how the strongest strain of marijuana came along, and how it was expensive but could make him feel even higher. The chorus reminds the listener that all these experiences are only in the mind and not necessarily real.
