Soil and Water Testing
Outdoor cannabis cultivation thrives in natural environments. However, Massachusetts regulations currently require burdensome water and soil testing — a requirement not imposed on indoor growers, even though indoor operations rely heavily on synthetic inputs and controlled environments.
The Issue
Unnecessary Burden: Routine water and soil testing adds significant cost and paperwork without clear public health benefit.
Unequal Treatment: Indoor cultivators are exempt from these requirements despite using artificial nutrients and systems that can introduce contaminants.
Conflict with Sustainable Practices: Many regenerative farms use living soil and composting systems that mimic natural ecosystems — these are healthy, time-tested methods, not hazards.
Our Recommendations
Eliminate Mandatory Water and Soil Testing: Unless there is evidence of contamination, routine testing should not be a barrier to market access.
Recognize Natural Farming Methods: Practices like cover cropping, composting, and water conservation should be supported, not penalized.
Promote Equitable Regulation: Outdoor farms should not face stricter standards than larger indoor operations, especially when they are working in harmony with nature.
Our Vision
At SGCA, we believe in safe, sustainable, and fair cannabis production. That means reducing regulatory overreach and empowering small farmers who grow clean, sun-grown cannabis the way nature intended.
