Actor Jim Belushi compared the similarities of acting and cannabis to an audience at the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/"> Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference on Oct. 9.</a>
Here's a look at what makes the two sectors similar and more on Belushi's journey to help people through cannabis.
Acting to Cannabis: Belushi may be best known for his roles in television and movies, but at the 2024 Benzinga Cannabis Capital Conference, the audience and other speakers are aware of his efforts in <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40720303/hollywood-star-jim-belushi-brings-cannabis-expertise-to-chicago-conference-in-october">the cannabis sector.</a>
The actor said "It's been a great journey" going from one farm to now having products sold in 14 states.
Cannabis is like acting, Belushi told the crowd.
Belushi said as an actor he asked himself why he was doing acting and it came down to the idea of making people feel good.
"You want them to leave the theater feeling good," Belushi said.
Belushi said the switch to cannabis comes with the same mentality.
"Adding on cannabis to my purpose, the purpose is the same. Cannabis makes people feel good."
The actor and cannabis entrepreneur said cannabis can help with pain, increase happiness and make people feel better overall. "I feel like I am totally on purpose from actor to cannabis," he said.
Belushi, who stars in "Growing Belushi," which airs on Warner Bros. Discovery (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/WBD#NASDAQ">WBD</a>)-owned Discovery, credits his partners and relationships in the industry for helping his growth.
"We are bred on a plant that is based on kindness, generosity and healing."

Challenges of Cannabis: Belushi said one of the main differences between cannabis and "show business" is the amount of time it takes to get things done.
Within the cannabis industry, the biggest challenge Belushi highlighted was the price. "Growing is very expensive," Belushi said.
The actor and entrepreneur said the market is oversaturated and it's hard to make any margin in states like Oregon.
Asked later on about his advice to someone looking to start their own grow farm, Belushi answered, "Don't do it. Don't f&#x2A;&#x2A;&#x2A;ing do it."
Belushi admitted he never got involved in cannabis for the money and was just hoping to break even, adding "I already got my TV money."
Belushi said he got involved in cannabis and remains involved despite the struggles as people should focus on things they're passionate about.
"I have passion for what this plant can bring to our community."
 What's Next: Belushi said he was excited about the potential for rescheduling happening this year and questions why it hasn't happened.
Until rescheduling happens, Belushi said doctors at Veteran Affairs can't give people cannabis instead of oxycontin.
"Why aren't we taking care of them?" Belushi asked of the country's veterans.
Belushi also said he was disappointed to see Vice President Kamala Harris talk about putting so many people in California into jail when many were put in there for marijuana-related crimes. The actor noted that he is not anti-Harris, but disagrees in this matter.

Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CELH#NASDAQ">CELH</a>) shares traded higher on heavy volume Wednesday after marking a new 52-week low on Tuesday. Here's a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/10/41216891/celsius-holdings-stock-hit-52-week-lows-on-monday-whats-going-on">look at what's going on.&nbsp;</a>
What To Know: Celsius Holdings shares climbed Wednesday despite a lack of company-specific news. The stock has become a favorite among retail investors and chatter on social media revolved around the stock reaching key support levels and bouncing higher.&nbsp;
Celsius shares reached a 52-week high of $99.62 back in March and have fallen more than 60% over the past six months, according to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>.&nbsp;

The sell-off in Celsius shares accelerated in September after the company said PepsiCo was scaling back orders to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40733143/whats-going-on-with-celsius-holdings-stock">optimize its inventory</a>. Celsius said it expected its distribution partner to reduce orders by about $100 million.
According to data from <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celsius shares are trading above the stock&#8217;s 50-day moving average of $36.23 and slightly above its 52-week low of $28.20.&nbsp;
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">CELH Stock Prediction 2024</h1>
When buying a stock for a longer time horizon, it is important for investors to assess where they think the stock is headed in the future.
When mapping a stock's future trajectory, investors should consider factors including future earnings expectations and expected performance against a benchmark.
Celsius Holdings&#8217; revenue has grown at an average rate of 98.52% annually over the past five years. The average one-year price target from analysts is $53.64, representing an expected 75.81% upside in 2025.
While past performance is not a guarantee of future results, investors should also look at a stock's historical performance when compared to both a benchmark index and the company's peers. Shares of Celsius Holdings have seen an annualized return of -3.06%, underperforming the S&amp;P500 index by 12.72%. This compares to 7.79% growth in the overall Consumer Staples sector. Celsius Holdings has a beta of 0.92.
CELH Price Action: According to <a href="https://pro.benzinga.com/?gspk=YWRhbWVja2VydDUzMzY&amp;gsxid=zBMR4PKmcgBw">Benzinga Pro</a>, Celsius Holdings shares are up 3.57% after-hours at $31.60 after climbing 6.16% in regular trading Wednesday.&nbsp;

&#8220;Discounts will hurt your margins, but loyalty points won't," said Lisa Williams, founder of The Toke Agency, at <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/events/cannabis-conference/">Benzinga&#8217;s Cannabis Capital Conference on Oct. 9. </a>
Williams was one of several experts discussing how cannabis retailers can use data to not only improve margins but also strengthen customer retention. 
The panel, titled &#8220;Maximizing Margins: Leveraging Data for Effective Cannabis Retail Pricing and E-commerce Strategies,&#8221; was moderated by Debra Borchardt, co-founder of Green Market Report.
See Also: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/10/41259102/exclusive-cannabis-tech-leaders-push-personalization-data-insights-as-key-to-beating-price-wars">EXCLUSIVE: Cannabis Tech Leaders Push Personalization, Data Insights As Key To Beating Price Wars</a>
Williams said that the real key to maintaining margins in cannabis retail isn't slashing prices — it's using data to build loyalty. By offering perks such as points or exclusive access to events, dispensaries can entice customers to come back. 
"How you build loyalty is you give them rewards for keeping them," Williams noted. 
Williams' point was simple: build a brand that encourages loyalty rather than price-driven shopping.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Turning Messy Data Into Actionable Insights</h1>
Kris Walker, co-founder of Hoodie Analytics, took the conversation deeper into how data can drive better decisions.
 "The trick is not just collecting data — it's making sure you have the processes in place to leverage it," Walker said. His company provides retailers with real-time data that pulls from multiple sources, including POS systems and wholesale platforms.
What Walker wanted to make clear was that data on its own doesn't solve problems. Retailers need to know how to use it. "We take messy data and turn it into something operators can use to grow their businesses," he added. 
Whether it's pricing strategies, product assortment, or even timing sales, the right data can guide retailers to make smarter choices, allowing them to adapt to fast-moving market trends.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Combining Data Sources For A Full Picture</h1>
Jackie Gonzalez-Becerra, vice president of revenue at Weedmaps, echoed the need for retailers to take data seriously — but stressed that internal data isn't enough.
"It's not enough to just look at your sales. You need to bring in external data — whether it's from Hoodie, Headset or BDS — to get a complete view of what's happening in the market," she said.
Gonzalez-Becerra explained how Weedmaps works with dispensaries to help them integrate 17 years of consumer shopping data into their operations.
This kind of deep data integration can reveal market trends that retailers wouldn't otherwise see. With the holiday season coming up, she pointed out how critical it is to start planning promotions early and anticipate consumer behavior changes.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Proactive Planning with Data: Fluent's Strategy</h1>
Robert Beasley, CEO of Fluent, brought in a real-world example of how data helped his company stay competitive in Florida. Back in 2022, Fluent forecasted a 20% price compression in the market, forcing them to plan ahead and cut costs. 
"We realized we needed to be 20% more efficient in two years if we wanted to maintain our margins," Beasley said.
Instead of waiting for market conditions to shift and reacting too late, Fluent took a proactive approach. They used data to optimize everything from cultivation to product pricing, staying ahead of the curve rather than playing catch-up. Beasley's message was clear: it's not enough to just respond to market changes — businesses need to see them coming.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Creating A Data-Driven Culture</h1>
One of the key takeaways from the panel was the need for a data-driven culture in cannabis businesses. Beasley shared that many cannabis companies still make decisions based on gut feelings or anecdotal evidence. 
"Humans are incapable of making anecdotal decisions on large data sets," he said, pointing out that without the right data and tools, businesses risk missing key trends.
Walker added to this by noting that companies need to ensure their teams are equipped with the right KPIs and data access. "If you don't give your team the tools and accountability they need, data can become overwhelming," Walker said.
