PER CURIAM.

¶1Appellant asserts that his conviction on two counts of selling LSD (lysergic acid diethylamide) was invalid because the indictment charging him with unlawful and felonious sale of LSD did not contain a provision stating appellant knew that he was selling an hallucinogenic drug.

¶2An identical argument was advanced in Thomas and Crouch v. State, 522 P.2d 528 (Alaska, 1974), under identical trial circumstances, and was rejected by this court on the ground that an indictment charging unlawful and felonious sale in the language of the statute was sufficient to apprise appellant of the charge against him.

¶3The judgment of conviction is affirmed.
