Montana SB461 revises laws on intoxicating products, prohibiting unregulated products and revising hemp definitions.

Montana SB461 prohibits the consumption of intoxicating products not regulated by the state, with violators facing misdemeanor charges. It defines "intoxicating effect" and outlines penalties. The bill revises the definition of "hemp" to include Cannabis sativa L. with a THC concentration of not more than 0.3%. It also updates definitions for terms like "marijuana," "marijuana product," and "licensed premises." The bill aims to ensure products with intoxicating effects are properly regulated and defined within Montana law.
