It takes discipline, dedication, empathy and patience to be a nun. But for Sister Kate, whose real name is Christine Meeusen, 56, and Sister Darcy Johnson, 24, it also takes an almighty good knowledge of marijuana horticulture.

The two, who go by the name Sisters of the Valley, consider themselves nuns but are not Catholic or traditionally religious – cultivate weed according to the moon cycles before turning their harvest into remedies which they then sell online. Their products, which are all organic, treat a variety of ailments including back pain, migraines and even hangovers, and each jar and bottle gets its own little prayer before being shipped for distribution.
