When I was in Malawi many years ago cannabis was incredibly cheap. It's got a climate where you pretty much just have to drop some seeds by the road and a while later there are plants. I doubt it will cause much food shortages.

Yep, there's actually is a reason why it's called a weed. It's so incredibly easy to grow, and very forgiving.

They require a lot of water/irrigation, though. Probably also why they grow so fast.

Soil / fertilizer is possibly a limiting factor.
