Don’t forget that the number one question asked Obama was “Will you legalize marijuana?”. Think about the benefits that medical cannabis can have on the millions of suffering Africans. I am very disturbed when I hear that UN Police are using international aid money to persecute cannabis growers in Africa and destroy such an important beneficial crop. Bono has enormous influence on UN leaders, and some of the world’s most powerful people. Please don’t think for a moment that by removing cannabis the UN is in any way helping the poor people of Africa or any other continent. This is a grave injustice, and I'm sure the sick and dying Africans effected by such laws would agree. The cannabis plant can help to provide food, clothing, shelter, safe medicine, and eco-friendly fuel. If the One Campaign really wants to help the poor, we should let them grow hemp, and if we must get involved, help them succeed in taking advantage of the many benefits of the hemp industry. I hope Bono keeps up the good work, and helps to stop the bad work. Thanx. www.nycamp.org Hello fellow ONE member,

We should all be proud to hear our spokespeople talking about ONE and what it has accomplished. I too agree that the economic infrastructure is important. I knew what they were talking about when they started talking about gorillas only because last year Senator Frist blogged about his trip up to the top of a 12,000 foot high volcano to see silverback gorillas during his annual African trip. They had to hike up the mountain, and the story was quite interesting. I agree with Paul. We should all be proud to hear our spokespeople talking about ONE and what it has accomplished.

I agree wholeheartedly about building the economic infrastructure. I flinched for a moment at the word "guerillas," then immediately realized they meant "gorillas," of course. (A welcome change in discussion, certainly.) http://www.rwanda-gorillas.com/ I think the idea of launching more products from Africa, such as Rwandan coffee (they could even call it "gorilla coffee," playfully), is a key to making these nations self-sustaining, and players on firm footing in the international community.
