HB 2641 Missouri House · 2026 Regular Session

Creates provisions relating to cannabis

HB 2641 is a definitional bill that adds specific terms to existing cannabis laws, such as "acute pain," "addict," and "drug paraphernalia." It does not create new cannabis policies or affect current regulations; instead, it provides standardized definitions for enforcement and legal clarity. The bill directly affects law enforcement, healthcare providers, and courts by clarifying terminology in drug-related cases. This is a procedural update to legal terminology, not a substantive policy change regarding cannabis access or use. The bill passed committee with no opposition but contains no new provisions beyond these definitions.

MINOR

The bill text was reformatted from a House Committee version to a Senate Substitute version, resulting in significant layout changes and the addition of specific legal definitions for 'Depressant or stimulant substance' that were missing in the previous text.

DEFINITION

Added specific sub-categories (a, b, c, d) to the definition of 'Depressant or stimulant substance' to include amphetamines, their salts, lysergic acid diethylamide, and other drugs designated by the Attorney General.
