Law Enforcement
Edgewood was covered by Harford County sheriff’s deputies. One person recalled five or six encounters where deputies were rude and routinely asked to search. They looked through the back seats and floor but never opened the trunk in those stops. Maryland’s adult-use rules have since changed, as covered in Marijuana Laws.
Where to Buy Marijuana
The Edgewater Shopping Center on Pulaski Highway, Route 40, was one gathering point. The gas station stocked bowls, pipes, bubblers and blunt brands such as Dutch Masters, Games, White Owls and Phillies. People also met along Edgewood Road toward the school and library. There were warnings about ripoffs, cocaine and gang violence around the developments behind the shopping centre.
