On the farms, he said, residents would grow their own organic food—which would help them recover from addiction,

These people are going to starve to death. It's difficult enough to farm when you want to farm.

Not exactly. My ADHD has only one good use... I am amazing at dealing with worst case scenarios and in fact thrive in them. I will always find a way to do something, survive and enjoy it. I had more fun in Japan when I was broke after I lost my scholarship than I was before I did. I rode a busted old bike with flat tires everywhere, I found ways to scrounge for food, I survived odd of a bag of flour and snuck my mom into my dorm. I have no interest in normal day to day easy life. Put me in the wilderness and make me kill my food.
