4:20 Needs A Saint Anyways

Mother Aubert, NZ's First Cannabis Grower Headed For Sainthood.

A woman believed to be New Zealand's first cannabis grower is set to become a saint.

Suzanne Aubert is a name that may not be immediately recognised, but as Sister Mary Joseph or Mother Aubert she championed the rights of the poor and under-privileged in a life dedicated to her church.

 

Much of her convent's income came through the sales of Aubert's medicinal formulations, including many cannabis-based medicines - Aubert is the first person known to grow cannabis in New Zealand.

She also started a home for those less fortunate at Jerusalem on the Whanganui River in 1885.

 

 

You can tell from the look in her eyes that she knows the difference between good smoke and ditch weed.
