“First, we note that courts in other jurisdictions have held that notwithstanding the absence of the word "knowingly" in statutes prohibiting the unlawful possession and sale of narcotic drugs and controlled substances, knowledge is an element of those offenses. * * * * * * Second, [noting that lesser statutory drug offenses contain the element of knowledge] ... it would be anomalous to hold that the legislature intended to require a lesser burden of proof on the part of the state in those offenses carrying the more serious maximum possible penalty[.] * * * * * * Finally, the state does not contend that knowledge is not an element of the offense described in [the statute].... The state contends ... merely ... that a person distributing a substance need not know that such an act is illegal[.]”
