REVISOR'S NOTE: This section is new language derived without substantive
change from former Art. 27, § 286A.
In subsection (a)(1) of this section, the phrase "[u]nless authorized by law
to possess the substance" is substituted for the former phrase "which it is
unlawful for that person to possess" for brevity. Similarly, in subsection (b)
of this section, the phrase "[u]nless authorized by law to possess the
marijuana" is substituted for the former phrase "which it is unlawful for
that person to possess". The Criminal Law Article Review Committee calls
these substitutions to the attention of the General Assembly.
In subsection (a)(2) of this section, the former reference to "the discretion of
the court" is deleted as implicit in setting maximum penalties.
