what do you call a crop that can ONLY be exchanged as a commodity versus one that has intrinsic non cash uses. Alternatively tell me how you subsist on tobacco or cotton.

A commodity. It doesn’t matter if it fills your belly or your mind, if it’s sown to be sold it’s a commodity, or a cash crop. If its sown not to be sold, its not a commodity but it doesn’t really matter it’s use value.
The commodity is, first of all, an external object, a thing which through its qualities satisfies human needs of whatever kind. The nature of these needs, whether they arise, for example, from the stomach, or the imagination, makes no difference. Nor does it matter here how the thing satisfies man’s need, whether directly as a means of subsistence, i.e. an object of consumption, or indirectly as a means of production.
That’s from literally the first chapter of Capital.
it’s just a commodity with a fancy name.

You’re wrong! Good night
