What state laws and actions make it the most hippiest?

I think it might be Oregon, but I would like harder info than just personal expereince.

I'd have to say Oregon.

Hmm, if style & cultural influence are used to judge then California is miles ahead of anyone else.

Yeah, but California has some really crappy laws.

Having lived here all my life, I can say with certainty that it isn't Maryland. I'll go out on a limb and say it ain't Utah, Massachusetts, Texas or Alabama either. So that's five off the list already.
Oh, and it's definitely not Virginia or Pennsylvania, since I've been there and, well, no; it COULD be Wyoming in theory but I think hippies would need to have actual people around to provoke. Alaska is too cold for skinny-dipping, I've never been to Minnesota but I don't think anybody with that accent could be a hippie...think about it and I'm sure you can narrow it down to the top ten at least.
But yeah, Oregon and Washington are probably up there on the list. One of the most radically left-wing teachers I've ever had was from Portland, and the fact that those protesters haven't been kicked out of their trees yet means they're at least not too right-wing.

Wyoming, because it's the most square-shaped, and everyone knows "it's hip to be a square".

I have lived in Oregon, Washington, Minnesota (alabama when I was really young), and Maryland and I think Oregon is from person expereince

I would like solider examples (like maybe there are all sorts of hippy places in MAryland that I just don't go to)

Wyoming has the nicest people I've ever met, which makes me really wonder about Orin Hatch.

I've been to Oregon. The southern part, at Crater Lake.
Very, very nice.

By hippist are we talking about trendiest and coolest or are we talking about most likely to not bath, wear tie-dyed clothes, and smoke lots of pot?

If it's the former then I vote California and if it's the later then Oregon.

He said "hippiest." The thread title is a typo. I don't think there are too many whining sixties-leftover types in power in Texas at the moment.

I've been to every region in this country and it is Oregon by a mile.
I can't even begin to describe the many, many reasons for the hippiness here, but I've spent time in some honest to god still funtioning, step into the time machine communes here and it is alive and kicking.
Plus, I've met quite a few people here whose first names are actually adjectives.

Yeah... Oregon

For some reason, there was a disproportionately large number of people from Oregon that got ticketed for THC during the Greatful Dead reunion concert awhile back.

Not to mention the Portland Trailblazers, they only team required to smoke pot.

ACK!

I agree with Oerdin - California is the hipest place in the US ... But then I might be a little bit jaded ...

Minnesota! Northern Minnesota to be precise. Lots of tree-huggers in that area (Lake of the Woods, Lake Itasca, Voyeguer's Nat'l Park, etc.). Downtown Minneapolis-St. Paul is also VERY liberal, It is all those suberbanites that seem to be mainly conservatives.

The winters here arn't as cold as most people think, they are just LOOOOOOONG. The coldest it gets around here on a winter morning is about -30F MAX, usually about -8F, the average January high is about 10F but "heat waves" that get us to the melting point are quite common. If you live in the south our summers are heaven by comparison. We also have AWESOME fishing

South Florida, Southern California, and NYC are the hippist places in the US.

New York and New Orleans are the hippest places in the US - but not with respect to the laws.

If the temperature dips below 60 degrees F for more the a 2-3 day stretch then the place is unfit for human inhabitation as far as I'm concerned. I love San Diego where the average yearly temperature is 70 degrees without a cloud in the sky.

Still, it gets boring sometimes when you have the same weather during Christmas as you do in the summer.

Don't you freeze to the trees when you hug them, at negative fahrenheit?

The court finds the evidience compelling and the verdict is Illinios.
