I mean actual food, not "edibles". I thought I've read that rotating cannabis as a crop is beneficial to the next crops that grow there.

Also:

Did you know that the roots of the cannabis plant absorb contaminating metals and transform them into harmless substances, without this affecting its growth? Italian farmers in the area of Taranto recently used industrial hemp to breathe life back into lands poisoned by one of Europe's most important steel mills.
