1Opinion of the Court

LAVORATO, Justice.

See Iowa Code §§ 124.401(l)(c)(5), 453B.3, 453B.7 (1995). He raises several constitutional issues, complains about the district court’s refusal to submit a jury instruction he proposed, and insists the court should have admitted evidence that it was impossible for him to comply with our drug tax stamp law.

Because we conclude none of Predka’s arguments have merit, we affirm.
