Appeal from the Circuit Court for Manatee County; Scott M. Brownell, Judge.
Pamela Jo Bondi, Attorney General, Tallahassee, and Elba Caridad Martin–Schomaker, Assistant Attorney General, Tampa, for Appellant. Peter Lombardo of Law Office of Peter Lombardo, Bradenton, for Appellee.
PER CURIAM.

The State appeals from the order dismissing the charge against Manuel Johnson for the sale or delivery of oxycodone on the ground that section 893.13, Florida Statutes (2010), is unconstitutional. We reverse on the basis of State v. Adkins, 96 So.3d 412 (Fla.2012) (rejecting constitutional challenges to section 893.13).

Reversed and remanded.
