A member of Sisters of the Valley, a non-religious international group founded in 2014 which has pledged to spread the gospel of the healing powers of cannabis, who uses the moniker "Sister Bernardet" online and asked not to give her name for fear of reprisal, prepares a CBD cream that can be used as a lip-balm and moisturizer at the Sisters of the Valley's farm on the outskirts of a village in central Mexico, September 3, 2023. "The Sisterhood is in a totally different context here in Mexico because of how religious the country is, and because of the plant's ties to cartels," said "Sister Bernardet". In her main job as a homeopathic practitioner, she prescribes marijuana to her patients with cancer, joint pain and insomnia. "We want to take the plant back from the narcos," she said.
