Marijunana, South Africa, Swaziland and HIV

Sometimes it is good to read other newspapers online to learn about things happening in the backyard of the own home…: Swazi Gold, a highly potent and valuable strain of marijuana, is being sold to South Africa from neighboring Swaziland by the grandmothers of AIDS orphans, The New York Times reports. The income barely supports the basic needs of extended families headed by grandmothers of children orphaned by parents who died of AIDS.
