Actor Vince Vaughn says that the world is in a "f***ing ridiculous" place because of the narcotic industry and doesn't believe everyone who uses illicit substances is "dangerous".

"I look at the drug wars and they are absolutely f***ing ridiculous. There is a black market and the prisons are overcrowded and it's not preventing drug use. There's a corruption that goes all the way to the top," Vaughn said.

"(Would I decriminalise drugs?) Yes of course. It's insane. I'm not saying that drugs can't be dangerous but not everyone that does drugs is going to go out and hurt somebody," he added.

The 45-year-old actor believes "experimenting" with drugs is just a part of growing up, reports femalefirst.co.uk.

"I enjoy a few drinks and there was a stage back there where I realised I was going out and drinking until 2 a.m. five nights a week, but you grow out of that stuff.

"Just like experimenting with drugs, it's part of growing up, a choice that everyone has to make or not make. You realise what works or what doesn't work," speaking about the early days of his career, he told GQ magazine.
