the better your soil the better your yield 
you'll never get amazing yields with perfect light and water if your soil is shitty.

Yea it is unless you plan on buying all the necessary fertilizers to keep the plant happy. Thus you would be better off not using soil.....
Soil=nutrients and nutrients=growth and grow=bud

i personally think if its good enough to grow vegetables its good enough to grow buds, you might just want to mix in some scoria for drainage and perlite/vermiculite for water retention, maybe some coco coir peat to release nutrients throughout the grow.

oh my mistake, what i meant by that was it will hold the nutrients you put in and release them when the plant needs em

ahh yes indeed it will do that. Vermiculite is also a very effective cation exchange medium, so some coco and verm is usually a very rich blend.
Be careful with peat though, as it tends to increase in pH overtime
