N.C.P.I.—Crim. 260.21A.1
FELONIOUSLY [MAKING] [DISTRIBUTING] [POSSESSING] A THING DESIGNED TO PRINT AN IDENTIFYING MARK UPON ANY DRUG OR CONTAINER TO RENDER IT A COUNTERFEIT CONTROLLED SUBSTANCE— FELONY.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this offense, the state must prove
two things beyond a reasonable doubt:
First, that the defendant [made] [distributed] [possessed] a [punch]
[die] [plate] [stone] [other thing (describe other thing)] designed to [print]
[imprint] [reproduce] the [trademark] [trade name] [[other identifying
[mark] [imprint] [device] of another]] [any likeness of any of the foregoing]
upon any drug or container or labeling thereof so as to render such drug a
counterfeit controlled substance.
And Second, that the defendant [knew] [intended]1 [had reasonable
cause to believe] that it would be used to create a counterfeit controlled
substance.2
If you find from the evidence beyond a reasonable doubt that on or
about the alleged date the defendant [made] [distributed] [possessed] a
[punch] [die] [plate] [stone] [other thing (describe other thing)] designed to
[print] [imprint] [reproduce] the [trademark] [trade name] [[other identifying
[mark] [imprint] [device] of another]] [any likeness of any of the foregoing]
upon any drug or container or labeling thereof so as to render such drug a
counterfeit controlled substance, and the defendant [knew] [intended] [had
reasonable cause to believe] that it would be used to create a counterfeit
controlled substance, it would be your duty to return a verdict of guilty. If you
do not so find, or if you have a reasonable doubt as to one or both of these
things, it would be your duty to return a verdict of not guilty.3
