Kirsten Dunst believes the world would be a "better place" if more people smoked marijuana.

The 'Spider-Man' actress has admitted she enjoys using cannabis and has branded America's strict marijuana laws as "ridiculous".

Kirsten told Britain's Live magazine: "I drink moderately, I've tried drugs. I do like weed. I have a different outlook on marijuana than America does.

"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."

The actress insists she would never overindulge in drug taking, but says smoking marijuana can be inspirational.

She said: "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.

"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."

Meanwhile, Kirsten's romance with British rocker Johnny Borrell is reportedly over, after the Razorlight frontman decided to go return to his ex-lover.

A source told Britain's News of the World newspaper: "Johnny and Kirsten had a very passionate romance. They were completely blown away by each other at first. They spent all their time together. But now Johnny has realised she's not the one for him. He dumped her at the weekend and has gone back to his old girlfriend."
