Nuns in California are growing marijuana illegally and selling their products online.
To understand the predicament the Sisters of the Valley find themselves in, you must first understand why dozens of cities rushed to enforce these emergency pot bans.
The localities were bracing for new lenient state laws set to take effect March 1. To avoid them, many cities passed their own bans in the last few months. But, California lawmakers ultimately decided not to impose the deadline.
The Sisters of the Valley run their mail order marijuana business out of a residential house in Merced, California, which has banned dispensaries, deliveries from dispensaries and cultivation.
“We are in the process of basically scheduling a workshop to discuss with council how to redo our ordinances,” said Mike Conway, Merced city spokesman.
