I've just started reading about him
Progressive in many ways, but a "law and order tough on crime" type in others.
He is apparently anti-MJ legalization.

As 90-day session opens, O’Malley opposes allowing recreational marijuana in Maryland
Maryland Gov. Martin O’Malley voiced strong opposition Wednesday to legalizing marijuana for recreational use, saying that it could be “a gateway to even more harmful behavior.”
“I’m not much in favor of it,” O’Malley said during an annual“Annapolis Summit” radio show broadcast on the first day of Maryland’s legislative session.
“I’ve seen what drug addiction has done to the people of our state and the people of our city,” O’Malley, who rose to political prominence as a tough-on-crime mayor of Baltimore, told host Marc Steiner of WEAA 88.9 FM.
