if all of the smokers chipped in 5$ a month, could we legally rent land and grow

First off, communism is not illegal.

Second, that's not communism.

Third, you can't grow substances that are subject to government regulation. Tobacco is subject to government regulation (taxation), and you can no more grow it than you could marijuana.

Finally, you wouldn't make any money out of renting the land that you collectively bought. It's called property tax. It's NOT the same as the property tax that you have on your house.

Example: Because I live in my house, I pay property taxes of around $120 a month. If I bought another house and rented out the rooms, I'd pay well over $700 a month for said house.

Usually, you can bypass this by having one of the buyers claim they live there. Unfortunately, you have a few hundred people involved in the purchase, and I seriously doubt your government would be silly enough to believe that. More than likely, they will say you are using the land for commercial purposes.

Even if it were legal to grow tobacco (and it's not), land used for commercial purposes have the highest and most punishing tax rates. Expect five digit figures at least.
 
"Third, you can't grow substances that are subject to government regulation. Tobacco is subject to government regulation (taxation), and you can no more grow it than you could marijuana."

Wrong. It is currently legal in all 50 states to grow your own tobacco. Been growing mine for years.
 
It is this unintelligent logic that creates attitudes against nationwide health care.
