what state ignored prohibition

Maryland was the only state that refused to pass a law to enforce Prohibition. Even the governor of Maryland opposed it throughout the entire period of Prohibition. However, it is important to note that private ownership and consumption of alcohol were not made illegal under federal law, and local laws were stricter in many areas, with some states banning possession outright. Additionally, some states were slower to ratify the 18th Amendment, which created nationwide Prohibition, than others.
