yes, it's important, as you want to flush the soil occasionally by watering heavily and for pre harvest finishing.

without holes water will collect at the bottom and destroy the roots

Great big YES. These girls do not appreciate having their feet wet at all. I wouldn't even try it by using a thick layer of gravel at the bottom of the pot as I do with other plants, she's that touchy about too much water.

yes, indeedy

just punch a few holes in the bottom with a hammer and nails. problem solved

yall must have some shitty plants that get messed up by nothing. I dont have any holes in the bottom of my pot. and its big and bushy and green as can be. so i say it is now an absolute must have. bu for flushing i would put some holes in it.

You can do it without holes, just layer some gravel about 1" in the bottom then add soil on that.
