Cleanup formatting & Image placement
I think the images add a depth to the article that really gives character and helps flesh out the (rather dry) content. However, I think that their placement (seemingly without any order) detracts from the story. I haven't really got any idea of how to clean up the image placement, and I would prefer to not lose any images from the article. Would anyone like to step up and help out with the formatting? I think it could even be a FA if it got cleaned up sufficiently. The information is there, along with sources and images.
Propose deletion of everything without a source
Wikipedia's quality relies on citations to sources. A popular custom is that when content is added without a source then anyone can remove it without a reason.
I see lots of content here without sources and I feel that this information is unreliable and not a benefit to this article. I propose to remove it. Anyone would still find it in the article's history if they wanted to revive it somehow by matching it with sources. Any comments from anyone? Blue Rasberry (talk) 23:24, 30 April 2020 (UTC)

Environmental Impact Section
I propose deleting this section in this cultivation article. It is presented in this article as being an excerpt of the separate environmental impact article, but in fact is verbatim duplication of the entirety of the separate article. Moreover, the environmental impact is not insignificant and truly merits a separate article, which merits extensive expansion.
Additionally, the enviromental impact is included at the end of this article, as an afterthought, when it is one of the primary things anyone should consider before undertaking cannabis cultivation, regardless of the legality of cannabis in any particular ecosystem, and some ecosystems are more suitable than others for growing it naturally and sustainably, i.e., outdoors, and not as a non-native plant competing with indigenous species for natural resources like water. For this reason I believe the link to the separate article on environmental impact should be presented very early on in this cultivation article, preferably in the opening summary.
The legality of growing cannabis in any given region should be based not on its psychoactive effects, but rather its environmental impact when growing outside its native range. As an example, consumption in the US could be fully legal and regulated, while cultivation could remain illegal, thus simply necessitating legal (and sustainable) importation from climates more suitable to cannabis cultivation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Derrgill (talk • contribs) 03:59, 31 December 2022 (UTC)

- @Beeblebrox: How would you recommend addressing the current duplication issue? The entirety of the impact article is masquerading as an "excerpt" in this article. What is a neutral, fact-based take on duplication between two Wikipedia articles, in your opinion? Derrgill (talk) 17:30, 31 December 2022 (UTC)]
