The type of hippie you're referring to is quite common in the Pacific Northwest. It's a hybrid 90's grunge hippie and vegan hippie. Their education level isn't sufficient to allow them to converse with the average human being, so interaction is typically accomplished using non-verbal cues. This, combined with their practice of only eating rotted organic fruit, makes them ultimately harmless.
Here in Ohio we have a strain of hippie that is part liberal-arts-college-know-it-all hippie and leave corporate-America-move-to-the-fertile-Midwest type hippie. This type is to be avoided at all costs. Their smell is obnoxious (patchouli mixed with organic gardening) and they aggressively initiate conversation. If one believed that Marx really had it right, this wouldn't be so unpleasant. But with this group of hippies, engaging in conversation is worse than drinking a gallon of wheatgrass.
