LEGALIZING MARIJUANA WOULD KILL THE THRILL

I am a sophomore at Cape Tech High writing about the Falmouth High 
School drug bust.

Why not just make marijuana legal? Then kids won't do it because the 
fun and adrenaline rush of selling and smoking in secret will be 
gone. It's the spark of excitement that gets everyone started. 
Schools will go back to normal and no time will be taken out of class 
to sell some drugs. Also, all the tax dollars wouldn't be wasted on 
fake students (undercover cops) as in the Falmouth high drug bust. 
Why not a guy officer? They must have lined up to get a spot to go 
back to school.
