REVISOR'S NOTE: Ch. ____, Acts of 1981, which enacted

the Health Occupations Article, also amended this
section to add subsection (a) to this section, to
designate the present first paragraph in the
section as subsection (b), and to designate the
present last paragraph in the section as
subsection (c).

Subsection (a) of this section is new language
derived without substantive change from the
penultimate paragraph of present Art. 43, §
250(a), which, inter alia, defines "drug" as that
term is used in this section. Since present Art.
43, § 250(a) now appears in Title 12 of the
Health Occupations Article, the definition of
"drug" is restated in subsection (a) of this
section.
