Meet the nuns who rake in £850k a year growing and selling cannabis

Nuns making the CBD products . SWNYnuns; A documentary about nuns who grow marijuana will be released to mark the weed users holiday of 4/20 in the USA [April 20th]. Sister Kate Meeusen started the Sisters of the Valley in 2011 with just twelve plants, now its an international operation which garners $1.1 million USD in sales each year. The Breaking Habits film, directed by British filmmaker Rob Ryan, explores the history and sustained survival of the weed-growing nuns. Ive seen the film so many times Im sick of it, I didnt like it but everyone else likes it so Im happy about that, said Sister Kate, 60, who resides in Merced County, California with her community of sisters. The film explores how Sister Kate and her team have fought bitterly against white man rule including the obstructionist country sheriff and black market thieves. We dont like the white man rule, said Sister Kate, who makes and sells CBD products such as salves and oils with her sisterhood. Farm people are very slow to adapt to new ideas, people are stuck in the 1950s with their ideas towards the cannabis plant for medicinal use. So far Sister Kate has attempted to cure eight people of addictions using her CBD products, and she says they have all recovered. We have a 100 percent success rate in curing people of their addictions admittedly we dont have a huge sample size, we worked with eight people who were addicted to either alcohol, tobacco or meth, but they all got better, said Sister Kate, who used to work as a high-flying corporate executive before turning to weed farming.
