The bill amends various provisions related to the scheduling and use of marijuana in Wyoming, specifically updating definitions and legal language to reflect current terminology and practices. Key changes include the correction of the term "marihuana" to "marijuana" throughout the text, and the inclusion of marijuana in the definition of hallucinogenic substances. Additionally, the bill clarifies that "edible products" and "analog" substances now explicitly reference marijuana and its derivatives, ensuring that the legal framework aligns with contemporary understandings of these terms.

Furthermore, the bill mandates the commissioner of drugs and substance control to create rules necessary for the implementation of these changes and repeals a conflicting provision. It also establishes that any person who plants, cultivates, or processes marijuana without legal authorization will face misdemeanor charges. The act is set to take effect on July 1, 2026, allowing time for the necessary rulemaking and adjustments to be made.
