Perhaps the best example of grass roots participation came from an obscure group known as the Pachyderms, who in one week expanded their operation to 29 states. Just who are the Pachyderms? "A sort of Kiwanis club for Republicans," one delegate from Missouri said, as Mr. Reagan was accepting the nomination. Then, sotta voce, he added, "If this catches on, the Democrats will copy us, and it will be good for the country." But the delegate didn't stay to hear the conclusion of the acceptance speech; a week of incessant participation, he said, had tired him out. And most...
...Helms of North Carolina, who reveled in the admiration of a coterie of delegates as he railed against the Panama Canal Treaties and the recognition of mainland China. But by now the Reagan forces were alarmed at the attacks on the platform by what some of them called the "grass eaters and know nothings."

Chong smokes billy-club sized joints and a cockroach he finds in the jar labelled "Roaches." Cheech sniffs salt thinking it's cocaine (and to climax this butguster drinks urine to slake his thirst). And at the end, a spaceship arrives to carry away all the pot bushes in a country field. Pretty humorous...
