Legal cannabis

In consideration of cannabis becoming legal in Maryland on July 1, the Ocean City Police Department released the following information:

Cannabis (and hemp) smoking is prohibited in any public place or in any motor vehicle. A public place includes outdoor spaces and indoor spaces open to the public, including parks, streets and sidewalks, bars and restaurants, public transportation (e.g., buses, vans, trains, taxicabs, limousines), and indoor places of employment.

Specifically, in the town of Ocean City, this includes the boardwalk and beach. You are not allowed to smoke cannabis in the designated smoking areas located on the boardwalk and beach.

Because cannabis remains illegal at the federal level, you also may not possess cannabis on any federal property such as a national park.

Read the Law: Md. Code, Criminal Law § 5-601, Md. Code, Transportation § 21-903, Md. Code, Alcoholic Beverages and Cannabis § 36-101, § 36-401(c)(4), § 36-407.
