What Qualifies as Drug Paraphernalia?
Generally, drug paraphernalia is considered any object that is used to aid in the ingestion of illegal drugs. Commonly seized objects include: pipes, water pipes, bongs, syringes, scales and vaporizers. Under Florida law, the following factors are considered when determining whether or not an object in question is considered drug paraphernalia:
- Statements made by the owner or user
- The proximity of the object to illegal substances
- Instructions for use that accompany the product
- Advertisements for the product’s use
- Existence of legitimate uses for the product
A drug related misdemeanor may leave a permanent mark on your record; however, with the help of an experienced attorney, your charges could be reduced or dropped. While this is highly dependent on the circumstances of your individual case, having a legal professional on your side will help ensure that your rights are protected.
