The Rise of Sugarleaf Church
In the ever-evolving movement for cannabis and hemp reform, few figures stand as boldly, or as spiritually, as Reverend Heidi Grossman-Lepp. A fierce advocate, trailblazer, and unapologetic truth-teller, Heidi has made it her life’s mission to defend natural medicine and sacred traditions in the face of government repression. As the founder of the Sugarleaf Church in California, she has redefined what it means to be both a cannabis activist and a spiritual leader, building not only a congregation, but a movement.
Founded in 2014 in Yuba and Yolo counties, Sugarleaf Church isn’t your average house of worship. It’s a sanctuary rooted in the ancient traditions of entheogenic healing, where cannabis and psilocybin mushrooms are celebrated as divine sacraments. Reverend Heidi believes these natural substances are gifts from God and our ancestors; tools for healing the body, opening the heart, and connecting with the soul. With over 30,000 members, 160 church branches, and 365 legal cannabis cultivation sites at its height, Sugarleaf blossomed into a beacon for people seeking both spiritual freedom and physical wellness through the sacred use of cannabis.
