The following words, terms and phrases, when used in this Article, shall have the meanings ascribed to them in this Section, except where the context clearly indicates a different meaning:
CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
A drug, substance or immediate precursor in Schedules I through V listed in Sections 195.005 to 195.425, RSMo.
COUNTERFEIT SUBSTANCE
A controlled substance which, or the container or labeling of which, without authorization, bears the trademark, trade name or other identifying mark, imprint, number or device, or any likeness thereof, of a manufacturer, distributor or dispenser other than the person who in fact manufactured, distributed or dispensed the substance.
DRUG
Substances recognized as drugs in the Official United States Pharmacopoeia, Official Homeopathic Pharmacopoeia of the United States, or Official National Formulary, or any supplement to any of them; substances intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment or prevention of disease in man or animals; substances, other than food, intended to affect the structure or any function of the body of man or animals; and substances intended for use as a component of any article specified in this definition. It does not include devices or their components, parts or accessories.
DRUG PARAPHERNALIA
All substances defined in Section 195.010, RSMo., as drug paraphernalia.
IMITATION CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE
A substance that is not a controlled substance, which by dosage unit appearance (including color, shape, size and markings), or by representations made, would lead a reasonable person to believe that the substance is a controlled substance. In determining whether the substance is an imitation controlled substance, the court or authority concerned should consider, in addition to all other logically relevant factors, the following:
1. 
Whether the substance was approved by the Federal Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter (non-prescription or non-legend) sales and was sold in the Federal Food and Drug Administration approved package, with the Federal Food and Drug Administration approved labeling information.
2. 
Statements made by an owner or by anyone else in control of the substance concerning the nature of the substance, or its use or effect.
3. 
Whether the substance is packaged in a manner normally used for illicit controlled substances.
4. 
Prior convictions, if any, of an owner, or anyone in control of the object, under State or Federal law related to controlled substances or fraud.
5. 
The proximity of the substances to controlled substance.
6. 
Whether the consideration tendered in exchange for the non-controlled substance substantially exceeds the reasonable value of the substance considering the actual chemical composition of the substance and, where applicable, the price at which over-the-counter substances of like chemical composition sell. An imitation controlled substance does not include a placebo or registered investigational drug either of which was manufactured, distributed, possessed or delivered in the ordinary course of professional practice or research.
IMMEDIATE PRECURSOR
A substance which:
1. 
The State Department of Health has found to be and by rule designates as being the principal compound commonly used or produced primarily for use in the manufacture of a controlled substance;
2. 
Is an immediate chemical intermediary used or likely to be used in the manufacture of a controlled substance; and
3. 
The control of which is necessary to prevent, curtail or limit the manufacture of the controlled substance.
