How to protest in 10 days
Toke a look at pot rag's Bush-bash tips
DAILY NEWS

On the cover of High Times magazine's new issue, an anti-war activist places a marijuana leaf in the barrel of a police officer's gun. The magazine is offering wanna-be activists a guide to protesting President Bush and his supporters during the upcoming Republican National Convention.

The 20-page supplement offers practical tips on everything from how to exercise your constitutional rights to where to eat on the cheap.

If you don't want to get arrested, be polite and respectful to the cops, offers the New York Civil Liberties Union. But if you do plan on raising a ruckus, ride in a bloc of cyclists - say 50 or more - and shut down the streets, High Times advises.

And if you land in jail, write the National Lawyers Guild's local number, (212) 679-6018, on your wrist or ankle, carry lots of quarters and a phone card, and some granola snacks.

There is even a resourceful list compiled for convention protesters. For cheap vegetarian grub, go to Dojo in the Village. (FYI, I went there last night.)
