(CNN) Actor Jim Belushi is so pro-cannabis that he's now in the industry and says he believes his brother John would still be alive if he had been a "pot head." "Growing Belushi" premiered Wednesday night on Discovery and the reality show follows Jim Belushi's efforts to grow his legal cannabis farm in Oregon. Jim Belushi said he believes his older brother suffered from Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy as a result of playing football in high school. "He was a middle linebacker," Belushi said on the show. As soon as alcohol and drugs were available to him I think he went right to (self) medication."
