Jim Belushi Launches Marijuana Growing Reality Show
August 19th, 2020 Posted by Apothecary Genetics News 0 thoughts on “Jim Belushi Launches Marijuana Growing Reality Show”Jim Belushi’s grow operation, Belushi’s Farm, covers 93 acres in the Southern Oregon town of Eagle Point. It’s a place he’s grown very fond of and where spends around 10 days of each month.
Jim Belushi is eager for you to see how his career has gone to pot.
The actor, Blues Brother and TV veteran (ABC’s “According to Jim”) stars in “Growing Belushi,” a three-part Discovery series taking viewers inside the legal cannabis business he runs from his southern Oregon spread, Belushi’s Farm. It premieres Wednesday at 10 p.m.
“Once you engage with this plant, it kind of leads you where you want to go,” says Belushi, 66, who brought the now-93-acre farm on the Rogue River just as marijuana was being legalized in Oregon. “I was like, ‘Wow, new agriculture, let’s do that,’” he says. “And it started me on that path.
“It’s taken me to a whole different level.”
Belushi says he’s “a boots-on-the-ground guy” and regularly visits marijuana dispensaries. His business philosophy changed, he says, when he encountered an Iraq War vet on one of those visits.
