MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
TAURO, District Judge.
Defendants are charged in a two count indictment with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and with possession with intent to distribute and distribution of cocaine in violation of 21 U.S.C. §§ 841(a)(1), 846; 18 U.S.C. § 2. They have filed motions to dismiss on grounds that count 2 of the indictment is duplicitous; that the statute, 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1), penalizes a state of mind; and that the classification of cocaine as a narcotic drug is irrational. For the reasons stated below, the motion to dismiss is denied.
