1Opinion of the Court

GRAY, Justice.

*1284[¶1] A jury found Melanie Sorensen guilty of possession of methamphetamine, a controlled substance (third or subsequent offense). At trial, the district court advised the jury they might want to wear gloves before examining the proffered evidence of the baggie containing the methamphetamine. Ms. Sorensen appeals from the jury's verdict claiming the district court's remarks on the evidence were error per se or in the alternative plain error, and that there was insufficient evidence to support a guilty verdict. We affirm.
