¶6Appellant, convicted of violating 21 U.S.C. § 841(a)(1) (possessing a controlled substance with intent to sell) appeals. He asserts that the district court abused its discretiori when it permitted the government to place in evidence three marijuana cigarettes found on his person at the time he was arrested with a commercial quantity of the substance in his automobile.

¶8We find no abuse of discretion. See Deck v. United States, 395 F.2d 89 (9th Cir. 1968).
