NASHVILLE, Tenn. – The Bellamy Brothers continue to blaze their trail as the iconic duo marks five years this April with their medical cannabis partner, Trulieve, celebrating the success of their Old Hippie Stash product line. The 5th anniversary of their cannabis line coincides with another monumental milestone for 2025 as the legendary hitmakers will celebrate their 50th anniversary later this year!
The Bellamy’s partnered with Trulieve Cannabis Corp. in 2020 to produce the product line Old Hippie Stash, taking its name from the duo’s 1985 hit “Old Hippie.” The strains are currently in Trulieve dispensaries across Florida and West Virginia.
Products include Cherry Lime, the first-ever cannabis-infused gummies from Old Hippie Stash featuring a bright swirl of juicy cherry, tangy lime flavor, and a full spectrum of Hybrid effects with 10mg THC in each gel. A unique way of experiencing plant-based benefits without the smoke, they’re convenient, consistent, and outta-sight tasty.
Rattler is a strain from the Bellamy Brothers’ Old Hippie Stash. The brand’s premier sativa, this strain is a standalone phenotype of Tiki Madman’s Singapore Sling #8. It was selected by Trulieve grow teams in partnership with the country music legends for its uniquely vibrant orange creamsicle terpene profile and strong Sativa high. Rattler tends to leave users feeling uplifted, cerebral, energetic, and motivated, with enough bite to start your morning or for a midday pick-me-up.
Blue Rodeo is also a strain from the Bellamy Brothers’ Old Hippie Stash. This unique phenotype was found and selected by Trulieve’s grow teams when hunting for their own Gelato Ice Cream. Blue Rodeo’s purple-hued buds are covered in glossy white trichomes and bright orange hairs. Its smoking experience is reminiscent of a classic Gelato—a smooth exhale with hints of earthy gas and a complex fruity finish. Leaving you with a mellow, relaxed Indica sensation, Blue Rodeo is a perfect cap to any cowboy’s day.
Big Love is a well-balanced hybrid that yields deep green flower with vibrant purple hues. The aroma from this strain is very piney and sweet. The flavor is rich and earthy up front with a piney finish. Effects one may feel when using Big Love are euphoric and cerebral. This hybrid provides an uplifting experience that will wash away the stresses of your day.

ABOUT BELLAMY BROTHERS:
Celebrated worldwide for their smooth harmonies, heartfelt lyrics, and a mix of humor and clever themes, the Bellamy Brothers continue entertaining fans globally today as the duo approaches its 50th anniversary in the fall of 2025. David and Howard Bellamy, originally from Darby, Florida, catapulted to fame in the 1970s with their beloved smash hit “Let Your Love Flow” (1976), which topped the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following that pop success, they transitioned more into country music, becoming a staple of the genre through the 1980s with dozens of hits including “If I Said You Had a Beautiful Body Would You Hold It Against Me,” “Redneck Girl,” “Do You Love as Good as You Look,” and “Old Hippie,” to name a few. The aforementioned “Old Hippie” is the name brand of their medical cannabis line with Trulieve Cannabis Corp. “If I Said You Had A Beautiful Body (Would You Hold It Against Me),” originally scrawled on a dinner napkin by David, rocketed them to the top of the country charts the way “Let Your Love Flow,” had done in the pop market just a few years earlier. It proved to be the first of a string of 14 No. 1 singles in the U.S. alone. They’re the only U.S. country music act who’ve toured commercially. Before forming their duo, both brothers played in various bands in the late 1960s and early ’70s. David wrote the song “Spiders and Snakes,” which became a hit for Jim Stafford in 1974. That success gave David his first big break in the music industry. By the 1990s, the Bellamy Brothers took a bold step and started releasing music independently under their own label, Bellamy Brothers Records. This allowed them greater creative freedom and a more direct relationship with their fans. They also began cultivating a massive international following, particularly in Europe, where country music continued to grow in popularity. Countries like Germany, Norway, and Switzerland became strongholds for their fanbase, and they’ve continued to tour internationally with massive success. In 2002, they won the CMA International Artist Achievement Award. The Bellamy Brothers hold the record in both the Academy of Country Music (ACM) and the Country Music Association Awards (CMA) for the most duo nominations without winning. Numerous Grammy nods have also been directed toward the brothers. The Bellamys have also opened up their lives to television audiences with their reality show, “Honky Tonk Ranch,” which chronicles their “unusual lives, blending music stardom, vigorous road tours and cattle ranching (Tampa Bay Times).” The first four seasons feature special guest appearances from Dennis Quaid, Blake Shelton, Tanya Tucker, Lauren Alaina, Joe Diffie, Johnny Lee, Gene Watson and many more of their famous friends. Each episode captivates viewers by the unpredictable misadventures the Bellamys face while balancing their globe-trotting touring schedule while running their sprawling family ranch in south Florida. Viewers can now watch episodes on American Country Network. In 2024, the duo released Double Dog Dare via Bellamy Brothers Records and Select-O-Hits. The 12-song collection includes their “sublimely country (MusicRow)” collaboration, “Forever Ain’t Long Enough” with Gene Watson and “I’d Lie to You For Your Love” featuring the late K.T. Oslin. In November of 2024, the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame inducted David Bellamy into the prestigious class of songwriters during the 54th Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame Gala. This year, the brothers achieved another monumental moment when “Let Your Love Flow” served as the soundtrack for Budweiser’s new Super Bowl ad titled “First Delivery” featuring the Budweiser Clydesdales. The ad featuring the Bellamy’s became the No. 1 commercial according to USA TODAY’s Ad Meter contest by viewers.
