Bruce Richard NICHOLS, Appellant, v. STATE of Florida, Appellee.
    No. 70-679.
    District Court of Appeal of Florida, Fourth District.
    April 19, 1971.
    Rehearing Denied June 8, 1971.
    Seymour L. Gaer, of Gaer & Rosengar-ten, Miami, for appellant.
    Robert L. Shevin, Atty. Gen., Tallahassee, and James M. Adams, Asst. Atty. Gen., West Palm Beach, for appellee.
   PER CURIAM.

Based upon our appellate review, we are of the opinion, using the words of the issue as presented, that the trial court did have authority to adjudicate the defendant guilty on defendant’s plea of guilty to an attempt to commit the offense charged in the information. Thomas v. State, Fla.App. 1967, 201 So.2d 834.

Further, we believe that attempted possession of marijuana is an offense recognizable under the laws of this state. F.S. 776.04, Laws of 1969, F.S.A.

Affirmed.

WALDEN and OWEN, JJ., concur.

CROSS, C. J., dissents, without opinion.
