Respect Smoke-Free Spaces

Smoke-free spaces: Let's respect each other

Help keep Maryland's public spaces vibrant and enjoyable for everyone

Where can I smoke cannabis?

Generally speaking, it’s legal to smoke cannabis in private homes and on private property. However, if you rent or live in an HOA, additional restrictions may apply. Check your rental or HOA agreement.

Where can’t I smoke cannabis?

Smoking cannabis is not permitted in indoor and outdoor public spaces. That means parks and playgrounds, streets and sidewalks, bars and restaurants, moving cars* and public transportation (buses, vans, trains, cabs, limousines). Remember, there are outdoor places where tobacco can be smoked but cannabis can’t.

*Smoking in moving cars is a safety risk and exposes other occupants to secondhand smoke odor and chemicals.

What else do I need to know?

Smoking cannabis in public spaces can expose others—including children—to secondhand smoke. Plus, not everyone enjoys the smell. By respecting smoke-free spaces and the preferences of others, you can help contribute to a positive cannabis culture within your community.
