So you say there's no such thing as a chemical imbalance in the brain that can be corrected with medicine?

I wonder if all the patients in the world taking life saving medicines that modify their brains through chemistry know they are in trouble with God yet? /s
Authoritarian prohibitionists seem to have a lot of problems with honesty & reality, IMO.
Any chemical imbalances, or balances,in the brain can be altered through the use of chemistry. That's an established fact.
Sometimes it seems to be a wise course of action. Schizophrenia for example. Whether or not it's a Godly course of action is something we'll find out one day.
But this is where your dishonest position on pot rears in. The vast, vast majority of people who smoke pot do it to get high. That's a fact. IN other words, they use it to UNBALANCE their brain chemistry. The bodies that God gave were designed to have thing in balance. They were also designed to be receptive to God's love and spirit so that we can grow in love and spirituality..in other words to be in tune with God.
Using POT untunes from God. But the devious part of it is that we THINK we're more Godly. Pot generates a FALSE sense of spirituality and love.
Concerning Stickmans use. It reminds me so much of someone being dependent on alcohol to function. I used to be socially shy and extremely anxious in any social situation. But I noticed that when I drank that this anxiety disappeared. Now I could be like Stickman and have a couple of drinks and sure, my anxiety would be a lot less in social situations. But I haven't solved anything at all. I'm masking the real cause of my pain and anxiety...which in almost all cases ends up being fear.
I'm not questioning the salvation of anyone that smokes pot. God has a plan and his desire is that everyone comes to repentance. I used to be a heavy pot smoker. And like stickman I found it almost impossible to operate without it. But that's what pot does. It takes over your brain and actually makes it HARDER to function without it. That's not Godly.
