Mr. Justice Moore
on Petition for Rehearing.
The first count of the information in the instant case alleges that on the 23rd day of November, 1956, in Denver, Colorado, defendant and other persons named, “Unlawfully and feloniously had in their possession a narcotic drug, namely, Cannabis Sativa L; contrary to the form of the statute in such case made and provided, and against the peace and dignity of the People of the State of Colorado.”
Counsel for defendant attacked the validity of the information, and our opinion did no more than sustain the trial court’s ruling that the information was sufficient. The petition for rehearing contains the assertion that, “The trial courts are in conflict regarding the merit of the contention of plaintiff-in-error relating to the validity of the information.”
The effect of our opinion in this connection is that an information in the language hereinabove quoted is sufficient to charge the person accused with a violation of C.R.S. 1953, 48-6-2.
The petition for rehearing is denied.
