He has been in Albania for 10 days to shoot a documentary about the cultivation of cannabis and its use in medicine. Actor Jim Belushi, in an interview for TV Klan, said that he came to his country of origin at the invitation of Prime Minister Edi Rama, at a time when the legalization of the plant is being discussed in Albania.
" I'm doing a six-part program. I started with my farm in Oregon, filmed in Chicago, etc. and then I get a call from Prime Minister Rama to come and discuss the possibilities of legalizing the export of cannabis. Legalizing cannabis means destroying organized crime. This is what I also promote in my show".
To the question of whether he would invest in Albania, Belushi answered: "We are talking about cannabis as a medicinal plant. I hope there will be a benefit that can be taxed and help the government. If it will be legalized in Albania, why not, I will come to invest".
The well-known actor also shows the impressions he received from his country of origin, which will be part of this documentary.
" It is that beautiful mystical village where my father and my mother's family come from. I experienced a lot of powerful emotions and I'm still processing in my head what I experienced there."
