Do you see a white rabbit when on LSD or something, cause I found the song "White Rabbit" by Jefferson Airplane, and I know it's about drugs, but what is all the questions about, "Do you chase the white rabbit or not? Please tell me about the white rabbit or whatever.

It's a literary allusion to the white rabbit in Lewis Carol's Alice in Wonderland. It's a metaphor. While LSD in the 1960's was very pure and relatively harmless, it is not that way in our times, most of the time LSD is actually rat poision so I hope you do not take this song very seriously and chase a white rabbit yourself. Maybe try reading the book first.

Go ask Alice!!! yes it's talking about how when you take LSD you "go down the hole" into wonderland and chase the white rabbit like Alice did. It's a euphemism for getting kinda psychedelic when on LSD. I did LSD once in HS (LSD #25 as I recall)...I promptly got on my high powered Super Bike and road hell out of it...power slides on a dirt road at 80 or 90 mph...luckily I had an AMA experts racing license at the time and really knew what I was doing...it was a great ride!!! And NO white rabbit was not a nickname for LSD!!!...lol

From the Jefferson Airplane website: 'Grace has always said that White Rabbit was intended as a slap toward parents who read their children stories such as Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (in which Alice uses several drug-like substances in order to change herself) and then wondered why their children grew up to do drugs. For Grace and others in the '60s, drugs were an inevitable part of mind-expanding and social experimentation. With its enigmatic lyrics, "White Rabbit" became one of the first songs to sneak drug references past censors on the radio. Even Marty Balin, Grace's eventual rival in the Airplane, regarded the song as a "masterpiece."'

Alice in Wonderland, the rabbit. The song's about Alice "Go ask Alice when she's 10 feet tall". All the lyrics have a Alice In Wonderland refernce. Alice chased the white rabbit, and went down the rabbit hole, starting her adventure.
"And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall"

It's a refrence to Alice in Wonderland _ Alice follows a white rabbit and finds herself in a strange world where nothing makes sense and nothing is what it seems

White Rabbit is either LSD, Cocaine, or Heroin. It is the drug that caused everything to be in a wonderland. It made Alice 10 feet tall.
What do you think the original Scooby Doo van had going on inside? Answer: Drugs. And that is why they were always hungry for snacks - drugs make you hungry for snacks.
So... the reference after the white rabbit was for snacks - remember what the donut said, "feed your head."

If you were born in that certain era you would have
caught the reference: "and you just had some kind
of mushroom" I would tell you of the white rabbit,
but I would have to munch some long forgotten
'shrooms.

Neo chased the white rabbit, and he ended up having a pretty cool adventure.
