Wicomico County May Criminalize Public Pot Smoking

Fruitland is a small Eastern Shore city located off of Route 13, just south of Salisbury and a few miles north of Princess Anne. As an incorporated municipality, Fruitland maintains a city council that can enact legislation, and a police department to enforce its laws. With a population of around five thousand residents though, it’s no surprise that major news headlines do not appear when Fruitland passes new laws. [ 681 more words ]

Maryland Legislative Session Set to Kick Off

The 2020 Maryland legislative session is set to kick off this week and there are a host of criminal law issues that will be debated in Annapolis. While it’s too early to tell exactly the kind of bills that may cross the governor’s desk in April, it’s never too early to speculate what will become a hot topic. One thing we can almost guarantee is that there will be serious debate about whether to legalize recreational ma*****na, but it will not actually happen. [ 585 more words ]
