‘Weed nuns’ praise study that claims cannabis may help fight Covid and say science is ‘catching up with ancient wisdom’

THE Sisters of the Valley, a group of self-ordained “weed nuns,” have rejoiced over the findings of a new study that suggests cannabis may help prevent infections of Covid-19. The Sister of the Valley are based in Northern California’s Merced County and grow and harvest their own cannabis plants to create holistic medicinal products. The peer-reviewed study found that two cannabis acidic compounds commonly found in hemp can prevent infection of Covid-19 by blocking its entry into human cells. Despite the groups moniker, Sister Kate told The Sun in a previous interview that the Sisters of the Valley are in no way affiliated with the Catholic Church. Sister Kate added that the Sisters of the Valley are striving to revive spiritual practices that “put Mother Earth at the center of everything.”
