Dunst: 'The World would be better if everyone smoked weed'

HOLLYWOOD - Hollywood film star Kirsten Dunst is a fan of marijuana and believes the world would be a better place if "everyone smoked weed."

The Spider-Man 3 star admits to smoking marijuana and trying other drugs.

Dunst, 24, says, "I drink moderately, I've tried drugs. I do like weed. I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does.

"My best friend Sasha's dad was Carl Sagan, the astronomer. He was the biggest pot smoker in the world and he was a genius.

"I've never been a major smoker, but I think America's view on weed is ridiculous. I mean, are you kidding me? If everyone smoked weed, the world would be a better place.

"I'm not talking about being stoned all day, though. I think if it's not used properly, it can hamper your creativity and close you up inside."
