VIRGIN tycoon Sir Richard Branson has revealed he once smoked a cannabis joint with his magistrate father.
The 60-year-old said he introduced retired solicitor Edward and mother Eve to marijuana during a holiday on the Indonesian island of Bali.
Sir Richard, who has also admitted smoking drugs with son Sam, 26, said: “I think most parents should experience dope in their lifetime.

He said his parents “laughed their heads off” and “had a delightful evening” after taking the drug, which carries a 14-year sentence for dealing in the UK.
This week Sir Richard, worth £2.58billion, joined Dame Judi Dench, Julie Christie and Sting to sign a letter to Prime Minister David Cameron to decriminalise possession of drugs.
