-Gifted by an emperor, Ethiopia’s iconic Africa Hall has been renovated for a new era
+Seth Rogen knows he can handle weed better than most

-Only 26 African countries had achieved independence when, in February 1961, Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie ascended a sloping staircase to inaugurate Africa Hall in Addis Ababa, which he gifted as the new headquarters for the UN Economic Commission for Africa (ECA).
+Hollywood funnyman (and success story) Seth Rogen is known for many things, not the least of which is his penchant for smoking marijuana.
-A dominating presence in the heart of the Ethiopian capital, adorned with a sweeping 150-square-meter (1,614-square-foot) stained-glass window, the structure, designed by Italian architect Arturo Mezzedimi, had taken just 18 months to build. Fittingly then, it didn’t take long before the building became the site of a landmark event in the story of modern Africa.
+In a new interview with The Guardian published on Saturday, Rogen – who runs a weed business in addition to his writing, producing, directing and acting pursuits – acknowledged his ability to intake marijuana with ease may make him something of an outlier.
-Just over two years later, Selassie once again made the climb to welcome the founding members of the newly formed Organization of African Unity (OAU) to their home — a meeting place intended to foster cooperation, drive economic progress and eradicate colonialism across the continent.
+While Rogen admitted “some strains” do put him “to sleep,” he said the type of marijuana he uses daily does not negatively affect his productivity.
-Addressing representatives of the then-32 independent African states, Selassie declared that the continent was “at midcourse, in transition from the Africa of yesterday to the Africa of tomorrow.”
+“For sure I process it differently than other people do,” the “Pineapple Express” star added. “I’ve been at parties with people and we’ll share a joint, and I’ll be fine and go about my day, and they’ll enter, like, a new dark period for three months. Years will go by and then I’ll run into them at a party and they’ll be, like, ‘The last time I saw you was the last time I smoked weed, and it was terrible.’”
-“We must act to shape and mold the future and leave our imprint on events as they slip past into history,” he continued.
+“I’m not physically gifted in many ways, but there’s one way in which I am, which is in my ability to process weed,” Rogen continued. “And to me it’s a very therapeutic part of my day to day journey which I don’t even question or think about any more, honestly.”
-More than 60 years later, Selassie’s message has come full-circle: Africa Hall has been shaped and molded anew.
-Last October marked the completion of a decade-long renovation across the entirety of the 12,800 square-meter site, commissioned by the ECA in 2013 with a $57 million budget to revitalize the landmark as a world-class conference and cultural venue.
+When presented with the suggestion that he should leave his body to science, he replied, “Oh, I will.”
-Australian design practice Architectus Conrad Gargett was entrusted with leading the re-design, giving project architect Simon Boundy a mission with dual themes — modernization and conservation.
-“The two go hand-in-hand with projects like this,” Boundy told CNN, “Where you’ve got an aging asset, but if it doesn’t get used, it falls into disrepair.”
-“It’s about bringing the building back to life, making it accessible to the public and celebrating the story of the building for future generations.”
