Join correspondent Ruth Carlson for a visit with the nun’s crafting and sharing CBD oils at Sisters of the Valley in Merced, California

Nuns who promote smoking pot sounds like a Saturday Night Live skit. But it's reality in the Central California town of Merced. The Sisters of the Valley produce marijuana CBD oils, marketed and targeted specifically for medicinal purpose.

The nuns believe it's part of their spiritual journey to help people escape pain...and if folks notice the nun’s habits and stop for a chat, they're elated to share and assist.
