In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the reference to a "manufactured
substance" is substituted for the former reference to "manufacture" for
clarity.
In subsections (b)(1) and (c)(1) of this section, the former references to a
"duly" authorized prescriber are deleted as surplusage.
In subsection (b)(2)(i) of this section, the reference to an "authorized
provider" is substituted for the former references to sales made by and to
certain practitioners for clarity.
In subsection (c)(2) of this section, the specific reference to "a preparation
containing opium" is substituted for the former reference to "the drug", for
clarity.
Also in subsection (c)(2) of this section, the word "lawful" is added to
modify "business, occupation, profession, employment, or duty" to clarify
that possession of certain substances is only allowed under otherwise
lawful circumstances. The Criminal Procedure Article Review Committee
calls this addition to the attention of the General Assembly.
In subsection (d) of this section, the reference to a person being "subject to"
a certain fine is substituted for the former requirement that a person
"shall be fined", for clarity and consistency within this subtitle.
Also in subsection (d) of this section, the references to a "violation" are
substituted for the former references to an "offense" for consistency within
this article. See General Revisor's Note to article.
