California's 'weed nuns' on a mission to heal with cannabis

MERCED, Calif. (Reuters) - The Sisters of the Valley, California’s self-ordained “weed nuns,” are on a mission to heal and empower women with their cannabis products.

Based near the town of Merced in the Central Valley, which produces over half of the fruit, vegetables and nuts grown in the United States, the Sisters of the Valley grow and harvest their own cannabis plants.

The sisterhood stresses that its seven members, despite the moniker, do not belong to any order of the Catholic Church.

”We’re against religion, so we’re not a religion. We consider ourselves Beguine revivalists, and we reach back to pre-Christian practices,” said 58-year-old Sister Kate, who founded the sisterhood in 2014.

There was a slightly crazy Californian group called the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence back in the 70s, if I remember correctly...

They still exist. There is a very active chapter in Germany.
