anecdotal, but I knew a guy who knew a guy who did contract work analyzing soil for companies
Combination of pesticides and fertilizer get you stuck in a loop of constantly buying more of each to combat the long-term effects of last year's fertilizer and pesticides. Also, apparently cannabis growers are the most egregious of these industrial agriculture producers. Being in a weird space with federal regulations, there isn't much oversight in regard to the sort of fertilizer and pesticides they use, so it ends up being the very worst sorts available.
Hard to solve a problem when every solution must include profitability.
Fuck that fancy shit. Cannabis is a resilient plant we should be throwing hardy seeds everywhere and using them for everything for free.
