For many celebrities, being involved in cannabis means lending their names and personalities to another business for marketing purposes. Not so for Jim Belushi. Instead Jim purchased 93 acres of land in southern Oregon to start his own grow, where he’s involved at every step of the process.
In this episode, Jim speaks with MJBiz CEO Chris Walsh about:
Why his focus is on the “magic” of cannabis and not just the money (even though he does try to break even). His reasons for transitioning from an outdoor grow to greenhouses and how he’s going about that process. Some of the costliest mistakes he’s made since founding Belushi’s Farm – and how he plans to avoid similar problems moving forward.Who is Jim Belushi?
Jim Belushi is best known as an actor and comedian, but nowadays he spends at least half his time at Belushi’s Farm, his cannabis cultivation site in southern Oregon. While he’s still involved in many entertainment ventures, from The Blues Brothers to a comedy troupe, attending to his “ladies” in Oregon is one of his primary focuses.
