supposedly doing something wrong. Not that the whole song is based on the Bible 
Those lines are theorized to be referring to the fans rejection of him switching from folk to rock. It was a big to-do as you probably recall.
It really doesn't matter.
The data on potential negative effects on young folks development ... dude, I remember being like 14 (so 40 years ago) and my dad telling me I was too young for pot (as he was getting high) because studies show it stunts brain development of young people. Dude didn't even go to college or really ... read anything. And somehow he knew this factoid you're telling me, 40 years ago.
So 40 years go by and you, Mr. Scientist Man, has access to ALL the literature and you're all 'up on it' ... and yet you're coming at me with that same shit he did, now?
All those years of research, and that's still the best you lot can do, some hazy (and almost certainly not empirically provable) assertion about kids mental growth being stunted?
Look man, it's a drug, people like to get high on it, yes. But it's almost certainly THE LEAST harmful way to catch a buzz, and people generally still act responsible when on it. Not like drunks or meth-head's or (some) opioid addicts.
I sense your outright disdain for anyone who doesn't want to be fucking sober every minute of their lives, but as far as drugs go, the shit is pretty freaking remarkably benign, dude, if you just try to be objective on that particular fact.
And I am absolutely not convinced it might not have positive health effects. It might NOT, but it might. And it definitely can if person switches from other more dangerous drugs, to only pot, for certain medicinal purposes, or even as a substitute addiction. It's called harm reduction. I'm sure you're familiar 
BTW, your example case of the person so incapacitated by pot that they can't talk and it's so depressing? Have you considered maybe they were on MORE than just pot? Or maybe a very THC naive user (one of their first times of smoking the stuff)?
I'd wonder, if you were to go back and read what you wrote in those posts and consider, with your scientific side, if maybe, just maybe ... you are really only looking for 'the bad' to back up your personal animosity against pot, and Dylan, and your whole Generation (buncha wastoids, who so depressed you)? Would you ever actually go out of your way to see a positive in this drug? I don't think you would, no matter the evidence. Your mind seems made up, but I'm not convinced that it's based purely on science. I'll leave it at
