Text: The results of the state crime lab analysis of the contents of the pill bottles revealed them to be Talwin, NX, a prescription drug containing pentazocine. The defendant stipulated to the result and to the accuracy of the results. A dangerous drug, as defined by section 50-32-101, MCA, means any substance or immediate precursor delineated in Schedules I-V in the statutes. In section 50-32-229, MCA, the Schedule IV controlled substances are listed. At section 50-32-229(5)(a), pentazocine is specifically listed by name as a dangerous drug. Little more can be said regarding this element, especially since the defendant stipulated to the results of the crime lab analysis. Based on the foregoing analysis, we conclude there was sufficient evidence to support the jury's verdict. Krum's conviction for violation of section 45-9-102(1), MCA, and the sentence imposed thereon are hereby affirmed. WEBER, HUNT, McDONOUGH and GULBRANDSON, JJ., concur.
