Actually one of my favorites on my old Hot Rocks compilation...but I had no idea it was about drugs until a few years ago. I was such a naive kid. : P Anyway, got a special place in my heart for that weird guitar sound.

It's diazepam. Check it on Wikipedia.

Cheers. Also found on some other page: "Definately valium. Little yellow pill, plus the time the song came out (1966), and the time valium came out (1963) all point to this along with other textual clues"
