The Law

For decades, Maryland had strict morality codes governing the sale of contraceptives. It was once entirely illegal to dispense condoms through vending machines in public places like gas stations, as lawmakers feared it would encourage illicit behavior. You had to look a pharmacist in the eye if you wanted to make such a scandalous purchase.
