TATE, Justice.

At the state's instance, we granted certiorari to review the ruling of the trial court dismissing indictments of the defendant. 341 So.2d 408. He was indicted on three counts of introducing contraband (marijuana) upon the grounds of the state penitentiary in violation of La.R.S. 14:402 (1958). The trial court held that marijuana does not fall within the type of "drug" defined as contraband by the cited statute.
