‘Weed nuns’: Two sisters use cannabis to heal the world

Near California’s Yosemite National Park, a group of nuns is growing, harvesting, and producing their own line of cannabis products.

Called the Sisters of the Valley, the women were not associated with any traditional religion. Instead, they see themselves as feminist healers.

But through their cannabis projects, the collective is known by another name: the “weed nuns”.

“We are not radical nuns,” said Sister Sophia Maya Costaras. We try to tell people that.

“We are not dull. We are scholars. We are intellectuals. We are spiritual. We walk and we walk very smoothly with people.”

Together, the sisters produce a line of products made with CBD or cannabidiol, the non-intoxicating ingredients found in cannabis, as opposed to THC or tetrahydrocannabinol.

Meanwhile, their traditions and costumes are inspired by the Beguines, women centuries ago who lived devout lives and often lived together.

“In the course of discussing what the new age sister order will be like, we will not beg. We will make our own money. We will own our own property. And I I think part of the gentle way to heal the planet’s problems is to give women more ownership and control over things,” said Sister Kate Meeusen.

The sisters ship their products around the world, which they say are not only handcrafted and handcrafted, but also tested in a lab.

They describe their mission as trying to “heal the world through plant-based medicine”, combining business and operations as a challenge for major pharmaceutical companies.

“I was hoping that it was one of these things, like if you build it, they’ll come,” Meeusen said.

“And I was hoping that the framework of what I was doing, making pills, would attract the right kind of women. And I lived to see that come true.”
