        "text": "George Rose Smith, Justice.\nThe appellee was charged by information with the unlawful possession of marihuana, an offense described in the information as a felony. The appellee demurred to the information, on the ground that the asserted offense is only a misdemeanor under Article IV, \u00a7 1, of Act 590 of 1971, the Uniform Controlled Substances Act. Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 82-2617 (Supp. 1971). This appeal is from an order sustaining the demurrer.\nThe trial court correctly held the offense to be a misdemeanor, for the reasons stated in Bennett v. State, also decided today. 252 Ark. 128, 477 S.W. 2d 497. That holding, however, requires that the present appeal be dismissed, for in a misdemeanor case the State cannot appeal from an interlocutory order, such as the one sustaining a demurrer. State v. Langstaff, 231 Ark. 736, 332 S.W. 2d 614 (1960). Without deciding the point, we call attention to the possibility that the State\u2019s privilege of appealing from interlocutory orders in felony cases, under Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7 43-2706 (Repl. 1964), may have been abrogated by \u00a7\u00a7 13 and 14 of Act 333 of 1971. See Ark. Stat. Ann. \u00a7\u00a7 43-2706 and -2720.1 (Supp. 1971).\nAppeal dismissed.\nFogleman, J., concurs:",
