Grammar aside, I think if you grew up "stoned" then getting sober would still be seen as a mind-altering experience. I don't know why we need to think there's some objective baseline between people as long as we all agree that the use of a drug pushes us somewhere else. different.
I mean, the thing about being stoned all the time is, well, you kinda just get used to it don't you?

As for enlightenment, I think you might get a taste, but I don't think its going to be acheived in any sort of lasting sense through the use of a drug. Just my thoughts.
