The term "fig leaves", do people refer to that as "drugs"?

I guy at my work had stated about another co-worker saying "I think someone has been smokin' too many of those fig leaves"





What does that mean? What does the term "fig leaves" comes from, meaning is it another terminology used for something else?

Well, when someone wants to reference marijuana, you can use a whole plethora of terms:





trees, ganja, weed, indo, grass, leaves, wacky-tabacky... you get the picture...





Fig leaves has other meanings besides the literal plant. It's usually referenced to being worn. This comes from paintings that picture Adam and Eve. Adam and Eve were both naked until they left the garden of eden, so to paint them 'naked' without offending anyone they drew in fig leaves to cover their private parts. It makes a very comical cliche and it's alluded to in modern art by using objects that resemble the aforementioned 'naughty-bits'.
