Outside the bright lights of Hollywood, Jim Belushi’s exploits as a farmer are being documented for viewers thanks to the Discovery Channel’s series “Growing Belushi.” Belushi’s marijuana farmer career, as well as the discoveries of medicinal cannabis, are on full display through the show, according to People.
“‘Growing Belushi’ is about the world of cannabis from seed to sale to patients and consumers,” Belushi said in a statement. “The new cannabis consumer will learn everything they need to know to have complete confidence in the expanding universe of cannabis — what to buy, what to ask, where to buy it, how to grow it — the testing, the qualities.” The show intersperses his unique humor with educational information around cannabis.
According to The Oregonian, the 2nd season of “Growing Belushi” shows the actor’s growing expertise in the field and the “evolution from hobby boutique cultivator to multi-state business operator.” Guy Fieri and Dan Aykroyd also appear. The latter’s visit makes sense, as Belushi named his bestselling brand after Aykroyd’s popular franchise. “… when we got that Blues Brothers [cannabis] branding last season from Danny [Aykroyd] and Judy [Belushi Pisano], it was selling like mad,” Belushi told the New York Post about his success. “We ran out of inventory. So that kind of forced my hand, and we had to expand.”
