Of course, for a truly natural, safe pesticide, they could just plant marijuana through the fields. Most insect pests can’t stand the smell of it, so they stay away. My grandfather was a farmer, and back in the old country, many farmers controlled pests this way. When he came to Canada, he had to use chemical pesticides, which contributed to the lung cancer that killed him…and to the cancers that killed many of the barn cats who roamed around the shed where the spraying equipment and chemicals were kept.
Unfortunately, marijuana is illegal here and in the USA, so (a) the plants would quickly be stolen by people wanting to smoke them, and/or (b) the cops would quickly seize the plants and arrest the farmers.
While I have never, and would never, smoke a joint, I do believe that the conspiracy theorists are right about the real reasons that pot is illegal.
