to explain how more smoking pot makes America a better place to live.

That's not the issue, the issue is how fining and jailing people for pot makes America a better place to live, and how creating a black market (with the associated violence and reduced respect for law) for an item many people want, and which seems to cause a similar level of mental impairment to alcohol (but without the ability to overdose and quickly kill yourself that can occur with alcohol) makes America a better place to live.

I've never used marijuana, but it looks to me like the government "war" against it, increases violence, decreases the respect for law, increases imprisonment, increases government spending, and decreases freedom (and not just the freedom of drug users or those considering using).
