He's calling out all the hypocrites that criticize stoners, but are just as lazy and worthless. Druggies might be liars, but so are lawyers, there isn't much difference.
People get up on a soapbox and preach about what everyone is doing wrong, but they are standing in a flimsy house of cards. And people that live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones, because eventually they get back what they've dished out.
That's a clear reference when he talks about pissing on the black kettle. Ever hear the phrase, 'calling the kettle black'? You see everyone else's faults but not your own.
i had to create an account just to commend you on your flawless explanation lol. Nicely done, I was getting frustrated just reading some of the other comments haha.

Just have to say this... Not all stoners are lazy and worthless. As a matter of fact I'm a stoner, but I'm not lazy because of weed and I have a lot of friends who smoke and aren't lazy. I also don't know what you mean by "Druggies might be liars" that is just ridiculous, drugs and lieling are not intertwined. I can see what you mean by calling out the hypocrites and blaming others but not realizing your own faults. However, I don't think those few things I mentioned earlier are ever represented in this song. I know it...

@TeriEsoc12 People who drugs, such as the admission that @pmahones said, are often associated with that stereotype. "All druggies are liars and can't be trusted" is thrown around all too much, yet we have lawyers that are paid to lie and protect people that are accused of a crime and still we consider them trustworthy just because they supposedly "uphold" the law. The point of the song, which @rock_hawk stated, is just that. They are hypocrites. It is known that druggies will lie to get drugs, which is a stereotype, meaning it's not the same in every case. Your ignorance...

Your ignorance to believe that stereotype without actually knowing or being apart of a community of drug users is really prominent in the comment you posted. Just because you are not a drug user (supposedly) doesn't mean you're an upstanding citizen that only upholds the law, never lies and doesn't have anything to hide. You're the very thing the song was talking about.
I know I'm INSANELY late to this party and that you'll probably never even see this, but I still wanted to throw my two cents in. Don't judge others with you yourself aren't exactly a saint. No one is. Everyone has secrets and everyone lies.

You hit that so hard on the dot that I do not need to read anyone else's opinion. I, like Samantha, also registered just to leave you a comment.

i don't think the song meant "druggies are liars". i see it as: liars and lawyers are one in the same, no difference- they mirror each other.

@rock_hawk. Right. Also note that it's "The Pot" that calls the kettle black.
