4. Richard Branson
Born on July 18, 1950 from Blackheath, London, innovative entrepreneur Branson is another celebrity who has a history of using cannabis and is a big supporter for the war on drugs.
According to VeryImportantPotheads.com, Branson admitted that Rolling Stone Keith Richards was the “first person to teach me to roll a joint." Back in 2001, Branson said he would sell legalized cannabis in his Virgin stores but not tobacco because it was dangerous. On a BBC2 interview Branson said, "I personally think it should be legalized. I think it’s wrong that 100,000 young people have criminal records every year for doing something which is no worse than their parents are doing every night—drinking alcohol."
He also smoked cannabis with his son in 2007. He described, "I went with my son on his gap year. We had some nights where we laughed our heads off for eight hours. I don't think smoking the occasional spliff is all that wrong. I'd rather my son did it in front of me than behind closed doors."
Branson is the founder of the Virgin Group with comprises of over 400 companies and his estimated net worth is is U.S. $4.6 billion.
