Actor Jim Belushi Opens Marijuana Dispensary on Upstate New York Indian Nation

Jim Belushi has been awarded the latest license to operate a dispensary selling recreational marijuana on Northern New York’s Saint Regis (Akwesasne) Mohawk Tribe territory. The license went to a franchise of Belushi Farms, a cannabis producer Jim Belushi started in Oregon in 2015. The local franchise is majority owned by Saint Regis tribal member Zach Oakes. Fees collected from that and other licensed dispensaries on the Mohawk territory will support tribal programs and services, the council said. Belushi Farms also has locations in Colorado, Oklahoma, Illinois and Massachusetts.
