i absolutely do. it's convincing every single cannabis user to join together and demonstrate together that's the problem it's the old "why should i vote, what does one vote matter" thing though; i really don't know if i'd be willing to do a high profile demonstration now that i'm going to start growing

for example, here in boulder, CO; on 420 we have a big smoke-out on the university. i think it might be the biggest in the nation, not sure. anyway, if i wasn't growing, i'd be there, but last year they took pics and put people up online, offering $50 if people would identify them for "trespassing". because the field was conveniently "closed" that day. the worst part is that they had to end up shelling out loads of rewards because spinless mother-fuckers actually turned people in. under an ounce of weed is a $100 slap on the wrist here, but growing is heavy shit no matter where you are. i can't put myself out there now, and alas, i do believe i won't go to 420 this year, and it sucks

you can do things anonymously, i think the most important thing is to encourage folks to think for themselves. you can do that anonymously online for example.
