Meet Mexico’s weed ‘nuns’ taking the plant back from the Narcos

Meet the group of Mexican weed ‘nuns’ pushing for the drug’s legalisation to take it away from the country’s narco groups.

Footage from 2 September shows members of the group ‘Sisters of the Valley’ dressed as nuns on their Mexican farm, of which the exact location can’t be disclosed for the group’s safety.

The California branch has a small business selling CBD products in the US, while the Mexican group, consisting of five ‘sisters’, grow cannabis crops and push for the drug’s legalisation in Mexico.

“What I have always wanted and what I am betting on is to take it (cannabis) back from the narco to make it legal,” said Sister Bernadet, who uses the moniker for fear of reprisal.
