Does a clandestine laboratory need to contain all the ingredients and materials needed to make a controlled substance?

California, United States of America


The following excerpt is from People v. Lancellotti, 19 Cal.App.4th 809, 23 Cal.Rptr.2d 640 (Cal. App. 1993):

Appellant, therefore, is not entitled to acquittal because his clandestine laboratory did not contain in one place "all the chemical ingredients and materials needed to make [a controlled substance]" and was not "bubbling and reacting when the police arrived ... [; it] would have inevitably resulted in the finished ... product if the police had not interceded." (People v. Jackson, supra, 218 Cal.App.3d at p. 1504, 267 Cal.Rptr. 841.)
