When you hear the name Jim Belushi, you probably think of comedy, music, or his iconic family roots in entertainment. But out in Southern Oregon, on a peaceful stretch of land along the Rogue River, Belushi has been quietly building something that goes way beyond Hollywood—a soulful, purpose-driven cannabis brand called Belushi’s Farm.


This isn’t just a celebrity weed play. This is personal. This is healing.

From Hollywood to Healing


Jim Belushi’s journey into cannabis wasn’t born out of trend—it came from trauma. After losing his brother, John Belushi, to a drug overdose in 1982, Jim spent decades carrying grief, questions, and unresolved pain. But on the farm, surrounded by soil, sun, and the spirit of the plant, something shifted.


What started as a therapeutic escape from the industry became a mission: to explore the plant's power to heal not just the body, but the soul. To educate. To elevate. To honor.

Belushi often says, “I didn’t find cannabis. Cannabis found me.” And that energy is infused into every jar, every joint, every product that carries the Belushi’s Farm name.

Cultivated with Intention in the Heart of Oregon

Belushi’s Farm isn’t just branded land—it’s a fully operational, organically minded cannabis farm with deep roots in Southern Oregon’s famed "banana belt" region. The terroir? Rich. The climate? Perfect for sun-grown flower. The vibe? Somewhere between Woodstock and Napa Valley.

With a team of experienced growers and a hands-on philosophy, the farm produces premium strains under multiple lines, including:

  • The Blues Brothers – Named in honor of John, this line captures the spirit of joy, rhythm, and rebellion.

  • Captain Jack’s Gulzar Afghanica – A rare, old-school strain from Afghanistan, once nicknamed “The Smell of SNL.”

  • Chasing Magic – A brand-new Belushi-led line focused on rare genetics, personal healing, and a deeper connection with the plant.

This isn’t hype weed. This is intentional, sungrown flower—cultivated with integrity and respect for the culture.

The Blues Brothers Brand: More Than Nostalgia

One of the most powerful elements of Belushi’s Farm is the Blues Brothers cannabis line—a deeply personal tribute to the legacy of his late brother John, wrapped in the energy of the iconic duo that changed comedy and music forever.

But this isn’t about milking nostalgia. It’s about redemption. About carrying John’s spirit into a new era of healing. Jim often speaks candidly about how different things could have been if his brother had access to cannabis instead of pharmaceuticals and harder drugs.

Through the Blues Brothers brand, he’s not just keeping a legacy alive—he’s rewriting the story.

Education, Advocacy, and the Bigger Picture

Jim Belushi isn’t just growing weed—he’s growing awareness. Through his docuseries “Growing Belushi” on Discovery, he takes viewers behind the scenes of the farm, the business, and the emotional ride of being a grower, entrepreneur, and advocate.


The show doesn’t glamorize the industry—it reveals the hard work, the heartbreak, and the healing. It gives the cannabis curious a real look at what it takes to grow great weed, build a brand, and fight for the soul of the plant in a system that still criminalizes it.


Belushi also works with Veterans groups, cannabis justice reform organizations, and mental health advocates, always pointing back to the plant’s power to help people reclaim their lives.


Final Puff


Belushi’s Farm isn’t just a cannabis brand—it’s a story of second chances. A soulful collision of grief, growth, and green. At its heart is a man who found purpose in the plant and who now offers that purpose to others—one harvest, one joint, one conversation at a time.


It’s not about hype. It’s not about celebrity. It’s about legacy. About honoring the past while building something deeply human and wildly hopeful.


So whether you’re lighting up a Blues Brothers joint or exploring the rarities in Chasing Magic, know this: you’re not just consuming cannabis. You’re connecting to something real. Something rooted.
