I would doubt that changing one thing would "make the US better". I'm not even sure what that would mean, but if by "better" we meant "less violent specifically pertaining to the drug trade" then yes - it would be a start.
If some nutball wants to put hay-ron up his damned veins that's his business, as long as he doesn't go joyriding in his car and mow over a bunch of kids. I don;t see the problem...it;s not like we have a national health program whereby I'd have to foot the bill for his treatment - but even if we did, I would, and I wouldn't bitch about it. That's how this works. We all help each other on the notion that doing so furthers our own interests. If my taxes get a guy off of heroin, cool, I bet they buy more immunizations than they do methadone.
(there -is- a cigarrette black market btw, you should see the fines and penalties...lol. Everytime I come out of the fields with a trunk tied I worry that some state ag agent will accuse me of having intent to sell.......)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
