Oh, the Lord works in mysterious ways.
According to Elite Daily, two nuns in California known as the “Sisters of the Valley” are making headlines because of their unique belief system.
That system? You guessed it: The core belief that “lies within the healing power of CBD, one of the 85 active cannabinoids found in marijuana.”
Sister Kate and Sister Darcy create “cannabis-infused tinctures, salves and medicinal products for online sale,” and they do it using weed that they grow on their property. And if you’re thinking that the whole production from the growing to the selling stage sounds pretty illegal, well, that’s because it is.
And the sisters know as much.
“Everything we’re doing is illegal,” Sister Darcy said. “Those plants you just saw in my garage; they’re illegal. The making of the salves is illegal.”
Despite what could potentially be significant legal issues, the sisters have no plans in slowing down. In fact, they just secured a bigger property for their business that is already bringing in more than $400,000 a year.
Which means that as of right now, it looks as though the sisters’ biggest crime might be telling the entire world that they’re illegally growing and selling pot.
