9th Cir. Model Jury Instr. (Criminal) 12.15

The defendant is charged in [Count _______ of] the indictment with [possession] [distribution] of a listed chemical, knowing or having reasonable cause to believe it would be used to manufacture [specify controlled substance] in violation of Section 841(c)(2) of Title 21 of the United States Code. For the defendant to be found guilty of that charge, the government must prove each of the following elements beyond a reasonable doubt:

First, the defendant knowingly [[possessed] [distributed]] [specify listed chemical]; and

Second, the defendant [possessed] [distributed] it knowing, or having reasonable cause to believe, that it would be used to manufacture [specify controlled substance].

It does not matter whether defendant knew that [specify listed chemical] was a listed chemical. It is sufficient that the defendant knew or had reasonable cause to believe that it would be used to manufacture [specify controlled substance] or some other prohibited drug.

“Reasonable cause to believe” means knowledge of facts that, although not amounting to direct knowledge, would cause a reasonable person in the defendant’s position knowing the same facts, to reasonably conclude that the [specify listed chemical] would be used to manufacture a controlled substance. You must consider the knowledge and sophistication of the defendant when determining whether the defendant had reasonable cause to believe that the [specify listed chemical] would be used to manufacture [specify controlled substance] or some other prohibited drug.
