Grassroots Cannabis was born in 2014 in a small house on the north side of Chicago, where a team of passionate cultivators explored their connection to nature and creativity. Co-founded by Mitchell Kahn, Matt Darin, Steve Weisman, and Joshua Joseph, the brand started with just three successful dispensary license applications in Illinois and quickly grew into something extraordinary.What began as a hometown operation evolved into one of the largest private vertically-integrated multi-state cannabis companies in the United States. Grassroots built their portfolio at an unprecedented pace, securing facilities in highly competitive markets across the Midwest and beyond. Their commitment to craft cultivation and premium genetics earned them recognition throughout the industry.In July 2020, Curaleaf Holdings acquired Grassroots for approximately $850 million, creating the world's largest cannabis company at that time. This milestone acquisition allowed Grassroots to expand their reach from the Midwest to 23 states nationwide. Today, as part of the Curaleaf family, Grassroots continues to honor their Chicago roots while bringing their premium craft cannabis philosophy to medical and adult-use consumers across America.
