Jim Belushi Says Pit Would Have Saved His Brother's Life

Actor Jim Belushi is pro-cannabis.
He has left acting to join the cannabis industry.
He has a reality show, "Growing Belushi", about his efforts to grow his legal cannabis farm in Oregon.
On the debut episode he talked about his brother, famed "Saturday Night Live" and "Animal House" star John Belushi.
John died at 33 of a cocaine and heroin overdose at the Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles in 1982.
Jim Belushi said he believes his older brother suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy as a result of playing football in high school.
"In the 70s, if they knew what we knew today about marijuana and the healing benefits I think my brother John would still be alive."
Recently, Belushi Farms took to Instagram and said "If my brother John was a pot head, he'd still be here today."
