Opinion:
PER CURIAM:
Appellants were convicted of violation of the Comprehensive Drug Abuse Prevention and Control Act of 1970, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), 846. The sole contention on appeal is that the Act is unconstitutional because it fails to require proof of a specific connection between the prohibited drugs and interstate commerce as a prerequisite for conviction. This identical contention has been considered and rejected by us several times. See United States v. Lopez, 5 Cir., 1972, 459 F.2d 949; United States v. Lane et al., 5 Cir., 1972, 461 F.2d 343; United States v. Lopez, et al., 5 Cir., 1972, 461 F.2d 499; United States v. Mather, 5 Cir., 1972, 465 F.2d 1035.
Affirmed.
