2Per curiam

An undercover agent of the Washoe County Sheriff’s Office paid Rowe $125 in exchange for 8 baggies of marijuana and 5 baggies of amphetamines. As soon as the money and contraband had been exchanged, Rowe was arrested. He was subsequently convicted, by jury verdict, of 2 counts of sale of a controlled substance. NRS 453.321.

Appellant here contends: (1) The prosecution failed to prove his awareness of the “narcotic” nature of the substances sold, and (2) the prosecution failed to prove the marijuana involved in the sale was a type prohibited by statute. Both contentions are without merit.
