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 I appreciate Bono speaking out on behalf of the worlds poor and sick.

It is much appreciated. ONE question/comment: I hope that ONE has in the works an extension of ONE International into Italy gearing up for the G8 this Summer. Italy is one of the more obstinate members of the G8 in regards to finding the cash to live up to their commitmnets to the world's poor and we will need to be VERY ORGANIZED & VERY FOCUSED to accomplish our goals at this year's G8. Live Positively in 2009. ALWAYS ONE in the Spirit, debbie :) www.mpwn-uganda.org Thanks as always, Chandler, for this daily synopsis of Afrocentric news in the ONE Blog. It is much appreciated.
