activein force · 2023-01-01 – presentcompiled-edition

§§ 11379.6(a), 11362.3)

The defendant is charged [in Count] with (manufacturing/

compounding/converting/producing/deriving/processing/preparing)

<insert concentrated cannabis or a controlled substance from

Health & Saf. Code, §§ 11054, 11055, 11056, 11057, or 11058>, a

controlled substance [in violation of Health and Safety Code section

(11379.6/ 11362.3)].

To prove that the defendant is guilty of this crime, the People must

prove that:

1. The defendant (manufactured/compounded/converted/produced/

derived/processed/prepared) a controlled substance, specifically

<insert controlled substance>, using chemical

extraction or independent chemical synthesis;

[AND]

2. The defendant knew of the substance’s nature or character as a

controlled substance.

[The chemical extraction or independent chemical synthesis may be done

either directly or indirectly.]

[The People do not need to prove that the defendant knew which specific

controlled substance was involved, only that (he/she) was aware that it

was a controlled substance.]

[The People do not need to prove that the defendant completed the

process of manufacturing or producing a controlled substance. Rather,

the People must prove that the defendant knowingly participated in the

beginning or intermediate steps to process or make a controlled

substance. [Thus, the defendant is guilty of this crime if the People have

proved that:

1. The defendant engaged in the synthesis, processing, or

preparation of a chemical that is not itself a controlled substance;

AND

2. The defendant knew that the chemical was going to be used in

the manufacture of a controlled substance.]]
