I have had an issue for some time now.

I am quietly active in the quest to change marijuana laws in my country. But how far is too far?

Being a grower, if I put myself 'out there', am I asking to be watched? Or to have my name put on a List?

Please note, I would absolutely spend time in custody if it was for something I believe in....but I am also a single parent. Jail is one thing; living apart from my children is another. I worry the authorities would deem me an unsuitable parent and take at least my youngest away. I may believe in the cause, and support it....but is it a choice I have to make? Be a strong activist who only tokes but doesn't grow or have children? Or be a toker, grower, mom and stay away from activism?

The second choice seems like a copout. People have been putting their butts on the line for me and fellow tokers; I should be doing the same. And given that I am Canadian, I face lesser penalties than an American would (correct me if I am wrong).

Does anyone else out there concern themselves with any of this?
