About Drug Paraphernalia

Drug paraphernalia is considered a misdemeanor drug crime in the state of Florida that involves the possession of an object with a characteristic of or associated with drug use or distribution. It can include pipes, syringes, bongs, water pipes and scales, to name a few. In addition to a drug paraphernalia charge, an individual may be charged with drug possession as well, since the ownership of a device intended to contribute to the use of drugs or the sale of drugs is clearly associated with drugs. However, drug paraphernalia charges are much harder to prove than drug possession. In a case of possession, the physical evidence can be the drug itself. In drug paraphernalia cases, the prosecutor must prove beyond any reasonable doubt that an offender possessed the item with the intention of using, selling or distributing drugs.
