(Eric Boehm | Watchdog.org) – They’re not a part of any official religious order, but Sister Kate and Sister Darcey refer to themselves as nuns and claim they are producing marijuana products as part of a spiritual quest to heal the sick.

Now, the “nuns” are fighting new regulations from the state of California and the city of Merced threatening to shut down their business.

Legislation signed in October by Gov. Jerry Brown opened the way for cannabis-related businesses to operate in California, unless local governments act by March 1 to specifically forbid them. Though the recreational use of marijuana is technically illegal in California, the state has a large network of licensed pot growers who supply medical marijuana.
