    for me to buy a farm and advertize it as a survival commune so I can get it worked with free hippie labor and you'd grow your own food.

    lol, come on now, who's tried this?

    I saw a show like that on cable once but it didn’t work out because the hippies only wanted to smoke ganja all day long :eek:

    This has been tried and does not tend to work well.

    Until people are in or trying to make a commune work, they have no idea of what they are going to come up against.

    No, pot as in it's the only thing they grow.

    Edit: except their hair of course.

    im saying they should just use pot as food.

    nutrition of hemp:
    This protein profile is second only to raw uncooked soybeans (35% vs. 31%), and the amino acid profile is superior to soybean, human milk, and cow's milk, and similar to egg whites.
    The ALA contained in plant seed oils by itself is sufficient for nutrition, as your body is capable of converting it into other fatty acids. However, this conversion process is inefficient, and the broader spectrum of omega-3 fatty acids obtained from oily fish is easier for the body to immediately utilize (see Fish and plants as a source of Omega-3).
    Typical nutritional analysis of shelled hempseed:
    Calories/100 g 567
    Protein (Nx5.46) 30.6%
    Fat 47.2%
    Saturated fat 5.2%
    Monounsaturated fat 5.8%
    Polyunsaturated fat 36.2%
    Carbohydrate 10.9%
    Oleic 18:1 (Omega-9) 5.8%
    Linoleic 18:2 (Omega-6) 27.56%
    Linolenic 18:3 (Omega-3) 8.68%
    Cholesterol 0.0%
    Total dietary fiber 6.0%
    Vitamin A (B-Carotene) 4 IU/100 g
    Thiamine (Vit B1) 1.38 mg/100 g
    Riboflavin (Vit B2) 0.33 mg/100 g
    Vitamin B6 0.12 mg/100 g
    Vitamin C 1.0 mg/100 g
    Vitamin D 2277.5 IU/100 g [citation needed]
    Vitamin E (dl-A-Tocopherol) 8.96 IU/100 g
    Sodium 9.0 mg/100 g
    Calcium 74.0 mg/100 g
    Iron 4.7 mg/100 g

    and then grow sparkly chronic too. for medicine of course

    grow herb, sell it, and buy all the food you want.

    the hard part is getting the capital to buy the place initially.

    Just start a religion, then the commune. Set yourself as the 'holy leader' then your followers will work your commune and support you until the government comes in and raids your "community."

    People are lazy. It wouldn't work.

    A few people would be doing all the work, and most would be sitting around being a stereotype.
