Nuns Who Smoked Cannabis: Uncovering the Sisters of the Valley and Beyond
While the idea of nuns cultivating and consuming cannabis may seem radical, it actually echoes medieval traditions. The Beguines, a lay sisterhood active from the 12th to 16th centuries, lived in semi-monastic communities without taking formal vows of poverty or chastity. Although they didn’t grow hemp, their blend of spirituality, communal living, and service foreshadows today’s plant-centred associations. Fast-forward to the 21st century, and you’ll find self-styled orders adopting the imagery of monastic life—complete with habits and rituals—but dedicating themselves to cannabis as a vehicle for healing and social justice. These modern “nuns” aren’t recognized by any major church, yet their impact on the cannabis clubs scene has been profound.
