Heading: possession of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine

Text: We first consider Snellings' argument that the offense of possession of ephedrine or pseudoephedrine with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, defined in K.S.A. 2007 Supp. 65-7006(a), a severity level 2 drug felony, is identical to the offense of possession of drug paraphernalia with intent to manufacture a controlled substance, defined in K.S.A. 2007 Supp. 65-4152(a)(3), a severity level 4 drug felony. K.S.A. 21-4721(e)(3) grants an appellate court jurisdiction to consider a challenge to the severity level of the crime, even if the conviction and sentence follow from a plea agreement. See State v. Thomas, 283 Kan. 796, 805-06, 156 P.3d 1261 (2007).
