## Opinion text

OLSZEWSKI, Judge,
concurring:
I reluctantly concur. The majority, in its opinion, has correctly analyzed the law as applied to the facts of this case. It gives me pause, however, to consider that appellant must go free not for want of evidence but because the prosecution failed to charge him under the applicable section, 35 P.S. § 780-113(a)(14).
