Our story

The Blues Brothers cannabis brand was born from tragedy and transformed into healing. Following the devastating loss of his brother John Belushi to addiction in 1982, actor Jim Belushi spent decades searching for meaning. In 2015, he found his calling on a 93-acre farm along Oregon's Rogue River, where he began cultivating cannabis as "a gateway to healing."Starting with just 48 plants in 2015, Belushi's Farm has grown into a multi-state operation spanning 17 states, with expansion into Maryland, Iowa, and Rhode Island approved in 2024. The farm gained national attention through Discovery Channel's "Growing Belushi," which showcased Jim's hands-on approach to cannabis cultivation.The Blues Brothers strain made its retail debut in 2020 through a partnership with Grassroots Cannabis in Illinois, bringing the iconic brand back to Chicago where it belongs. The brand promises to deliver "the best possible stimuli to our endo-cannabinoid receptors" while maintaining the "ten star, quadruple A reputation" that John and Dan Belushi established.
