OPINION OF THE COURT
Smith, J.
In People v Ryan (82 NY2d 497) we held that in order to find a defendant guilty of Penal Law § 220.18 (5) (criminal possession of a controlled substance in the second degree), the People must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant had knowledge of both the possession of the substance and its weight. We now hold that, where the issue is fully preserved for our review, the knowledge requirement is applicable to the convictions here for criminal sale of a controlled substance in the second degree (Penal Law § 220.41 [1]).
