(dissenting).
. The verdict returned, in the instant case is not, in my opinion, responsive to the charge *1023contained in the bill of information. The offense of attempted possession of a narcotic drug may he committed only under circumstances (they are not present here) described in Section 17 of the Uniform Narcotic Drug Act. Any other unsuccessful effort to obtain the drug would constitute mere preparation, not an attempt, under the specific recitals of Article 27 of the Louisiana Criminal Code.
I respectfully dissent.
