CALCRIM No. 2330
Manufacturing a Controlled Substance (Health & Saf. Code,
§§ 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.]]
