I don't know, Sailor; given my experience with marijuana, all I ever wanna do when stoned is be like a plant and stand idle, as I steadily devour all sugary-sweet delicacies in the immediate surrounding. I've thought about and discussed with others from different walks of life some very outlandish ideas and concepts over the course of my consumption of cannabis in the past but it's only been after the start of my hiatus from the substance that I've progressed in my life, as I've become a better man by accomplishing challenging tasks that likely wouldn't have been possible for me if I was, at the same time, flirting with mary jane.
Now I'm a firm believer that there is always an exception to any case and that I'm better off without it in my life, for the time being, as I'm still young and life isn't easy for anyone, not even the rich or the powerful, even though our perceptions would make us think otherwise, and so I gotta be quasi contempt yet despiteful for how life really is rather than masking away some of life's bores and pains with the temporary delights and highs of mary jane, in order to establish a better future for myself and possibly others.
Edit:
I don't mean to inflict any personal damage to you or your fellow countrymen, but I see a direct correlation between the percentage of users of marijuana in Greece and the country's economic condition. Which came first, the recreational users or the economic slump?
Neither of them,actually ...
What has been always going on here, is the
absolute corruption of those in power.
The sickness of those who think that they can apply their domination & authority ,beyond themselves to others.
In Hellas ,things are probably much worse than any other place in the world ,simply because of the extreme expression of duality ,which characterizes the whole universe.
Intelligence versus stupidity .
In a place where bright minds are being born ,the price is that ,at the same time is the birthplace of the darkest & unbeatable stupidity ,ever known to man .
And as clever people here ,either they leave for other countries ,
or do not care about power of any kind,at all...
All the "seats" of " power" then are taken by idiots.
As simple as that.
A land of severe contradictions.
A land that gave birth to Socrates ,only to sentence him to death by poisoning ,because of his groundbreaking ideas.
A land that gave birth to democracy ,while the founders of "democracy", had at least 100 slaves at their homes,every each one of them ....(That's a "small" detail of the history of "democracy" ....)
Now..About the herb ....
Cannabis has nothing to do with all these,trust me on that one.
Maybe even ,if we were not aware of that herb,we would not exist ,by now.
Probably we would have slaughtered each other to the last one ,without it ...
See what Carl Sagan used to say :
“The illegality of cannabis is outrageous, an impediment to full utilization of a drug which helps produce the serenity and insight, sensitivity and fellowship so desperately needed in this increasingly mad and dangerous world.”
I totally agree and double that ...
By experience and only ...
Cheers.

About greeks and WW II .....
Adolf Hitler:
"For the sake of historical truth I must verify that only the Greeks, of all the adversaries who confronted us, fought with bold courage and highest disregard of death.. " (From speech he delivered to Reichstag on 4 May 1941)
Winston Churchill:
"The word heroism I am afraid does not render the least of those acts of self-sacrifice of the Greeks, which were the defining factor in the victorious outcome of the common struggle of the nations, during WWII, for the human freedom and dignity. If it were not for the bravery of the Greeks and their courage, the outcome of WWII would be undetermined." (Paraphrased from one of his speeches to the British Parliament on 24 April 1941)
Maurice Schumann Minister of the exterior of France 1969-1973, member of the French Academy 1974:
"Greece is the symbol of the tortured, bloodied but live Europe.. Never a defeat was so honorable for those who suffered it." (From a message of his he addressed from the BBC of London to the enslaved peoples of Europe on 28 April 1941, the day Hitler occupied Athens after Greece fought a 6-month war)

War is flowing within our blood .
When we do not have -external- enemies ,then usually we kill each other ...
By any means ,possible ...
All sorts of war ,that a man can imagine ...
Not only with weapons ...
Just for the fun of it ...
So much stupidity ,in a land of bright minds ....
funny I think I know what you mean, though. Adaptable, right? Maybe it could adapt if it was 400w m^2 like full sunshine was all UVB? Maybe some star?
