The question of cannabis cultivation and its environmental impact brings multiple variables that must be considered. It is necessary to focus on energy and water usage, as well as the consequences of pesticide use. These and many other factors impact environmental burden and consequently, everyone's life. Cultivation is just one of the processes associated with the cannabis industry, but this phase can play a significant role in potential negative impacts on the planet's somewhat disrupted ecosystem.
