Reader Comment of the Week

Every Sunday, Bayside Douglaston Patch will pick a comment on a story from one of our readers.

This week's comment came from the story, "The Steady Mainstreaming of Marijuana."

In the comment section, reader Harriet Brown wrote, "I believe that as long as we are talking about consenting adults, marijuana, prostitution, gambling, strip joints and so-called pornography should be legalized, regulated and taxed. The legal drinking age should be 18. Smoking should be permitted wherever it isn't a fire hazard, but smoke filters and air purifiers should be provided."
