Definitions. As used in this section, the following terms shall have

A substance as defined in Subsection E of NMSA 1978, § 30-31-2,
as it may be amended from time to time.
The actual, constructive, or attempted transfer, delivery,
or dispensing to another of an imitation controlled substance.
A substance that is not a controlled substance which by overall
dosage unit appearance, including color, shape, size, and marking,
or by representations made would lead a reasonable person to believe
that the substance is a controlled substance. In those rare cases
when the appearance of the dosage unit is not reasonably sufficient
to establish that the substance is an imitation controlled substance,
for example, in the case of powder or liquid, the court or authority
concerned should consider, in addition to all other logically relevant
factors, the following factors as related to "representations made"
in determining whether the substance is an imitation controlled substance:
Statements made by an owner or by anyone else in control of
the substance concerning the nature of the substance or its use or
effect;
Statements made to recipient that the substance may be resold
for consideration greatly in excess of the market value of the ingredients;
Whether the substance is packaged in a manner normally used
for illicit controlled substances;
Evasive tactics or actions utilized by the owner or person in
control of the substance to avoid detection by law enforcement authorities;
Prior convictions, if any, of the owner, or anyone in control
of the object, under state or federal law related to controlled substances
or fraud, provided that this factor alone shall not be sufficient
to support a conviction under this section; and
Whether the physical appearance of the substance is substantially
identical to a controlled substance.
The production, preparation, compounding, processing, encapsulating,
tableting, packaging or repackaging, or labeling or relabeling of
an imitation controlled substance.
As defined in NMSA 1978, § 30-31-2, Subsection
