N-ethylephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, hydriodic acid or a reducing
agent, thionyl chloride, or phosphorus pentachloride, with intent to
manufacture methamphetamine, is guilty of a felony and shall be
punished by imprisonment in the state prison for two, four, or six
years.
   (g) Any person who possesses essential chemicals sufficient to

N-ethylephedrine, phenylpropanolamine, hydriodic acid or a reducing
agent, thionyl chloride, or phosphorus pentachloride, with intent to
manufacture methamphetamine, is guilty of a felony and shall be
