British billionaire Sir Richard Branson says if kids are going to smoke marijuana, their parents should join them for the joint - and not let them do it alone.
The 66-year-old Virgin Group founder mixed in some unorthodox parenting advice for entrepreneurs about raising their children along with his more conventional business advice."If they're going to have a joint, do it with them," the father of two told the thousands of budding entrepreneurs from the stage in Chicago last week.
"Don't let them sneak off and do it on their own."

After a smattering of awkward laughter, Branson felt compelled to add that "I'm on the global drug commission" and that he had been working hard to reinforce the idea that drugs are "a health problem and not a criminal problem", a message which got a warmer response from his audience.
Though it seemed to catch many in the audience unaware, Branson has made no secret of his occasional marijuana use and has been an advocate for decriminalising marijuana.
He has however attacked big spending businesses people who forget about the common in their communities.
