No problem. All we need to do is get millions of marijuana smokers to register Republican and get off the couch long enough to vote.

Should be easy, right.

And there lies the problem. The preconceived notion that cannabis users just "sit on the couch" all day. Oh yeah, and all Ron Paul supporters lived in their parents basement scamming internet polls 24/7.
