"NUNS" FIGHT TO KEEP THEIR MARIJUANA-BASED BUSINESS IN CALIFORNIA While their products won't make anyone high, they are fighting to keep the city council from putting them out of business. By Gene Haagenson Saturday, January 02, 2016 10:27AM MERCED, Calif. -- The "Sisters of the Valley" have been producing salves and tonics made with cannabis. While their products won't make anyone high, they are fighting to keep the city council from putting them out of business. The new year marks the first anniversary of a marijuana-based business in Merced. The sisters are not members of a religious order but they say they are on a spiritual quest to heal the sick with their cannabis cures. Sister Kate and Sister Darcey are tending their small crop of marijuana plants in the garage of the home they share in Merced. They consider themselves nuns, but are not Catholic, or traditionally religious. They produce a variety of products made from the cannabinoids or CBD's found in the marijuana plant. Their plants do not contain THC, the substance that creates the marijuana high. They believe creating these healing substances is a spiritual quest. "We spend no time on bended knee, but when we make our medicine it's a prayerful environment it's a prayerful time," said Sister Kate, medical marijuana grower. Videos of their operation, set to music have become popular on the Internet. It's Sister Kate's business -- Sister Darcey is her apprentice. "It's more for me about the sisterhood and the feminist movement... to live an work with other women and to do a positive thing for the community -- and obviously for the world since we ship it everywhere," said Sister Darcey, apprentice. They sell their product online at Etsy, a web market known for handmade, handcrafted items. They claim their substances offer a treatment for a lot of problems. "We make CBD oil which takes away seizures, and a million other things," said Sister Kate. "And we make a salve, that's a multi purpose salve... and we found out that it cures migraines, hangovers, earaches, diaper rash tooth aches." But their production is threatened. The Merced City Council is considering a proposed ban on all marijuana cultivation. "Yes it's frustrating to me because there are all of these people with negative attitudes about something that is truly God's gift," said Sister Darcey. The city council will consider banning all marijuana growing in Merced next week. The sisters and their supporters are hoping to keep what they do legal. "Embrace, regulate and tax, that's all we want them to do," said Sister Kate. The Planning Commission recently voted to continue allowing medical marijuana distribution in Merced, but the city council is under pressure to put a ban in place before more lenient state regulations take effect in March.

I am declaring 2016 the year of WORDPLAY.
First we had Prophets that weren't prophets. (And more of those to come). Then the battle to change the religious/spiritual & legal definition of marriage. Then preachers & pastors referring to themselves as 'Reverend ', who were never 'ordained' And now women who are referring to themselves as 'nuns' who are NOT RomanCatholic nuns or Buddhist nuns, & who have NO RELIGIOUS affiliation & NO belief system. And the MEDIA just goes along with it. WTF !? Seems like there are more & more people who want a religious title or religious sanctions or exemptions.... so they make it up, or steal it.

I hope they win and are able to continue to produce the CBD.... It is a much better solution for many maladies than the pharmaceuticals..
CBD helps to lessen the anxiety with persons with dimensia/alzheimers as well as help with sleep issues. |

Well, yeah, I have some sympathy with what you say here. And the various "news media," regardless of their political bias, are infamous for going along with whatever makes a given story fit their preconceived plot lines. On the other hand, there's no logical reason to declare that only religious orders of more than a certain number of centuries should be accepted as being valid or earnest in their beliefs. After all, neither the Catholics, nor the Buddists have ever copyrighted the term or concept of "nun." |

I was being facetious & sarcastic at the thought that maybe they think they will be taken more seriously, by using deception. Some people may actually believe they are nuns.

There use to be a time, when potheads smoked weed to get high. Now it seems, it's all a bunch of lame azzes who need an excuse. Pot does seem to have some legitimate medical uses. But like you say, there are a lot of lamos out there using these reasons as excuses just to get high legally. |
