Paraphernalia
A.R.S. 13-3415 — using or possessing drug paraphernalia is a class 6 felony, outside the adult use marijuana rules
The offense. Except as the sections the subsection names allow, it is unlawful to use, or possess with intent to use, drug paraphernalia to grow, manufacture, prepare, test, pack, store, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce into the body a drug in violation of the chapter. A violation is a class 6 felony.
Delivery and advertising. Delivering, possessing with intent to deliver, or manufacturing with intent to deliver paraphernalia, and advertising objects designed for use as paraphernalia, are also class 6 felonies.
- Statements by an owner or anyone in control of the object about its use.
- Prior drug convictions of an owner or anyone in control of it.
- The object's proximity, in time and space, to a direct violation, or to drugs.
- Drug residue on the object.
- Evidence of intent to deliver it to someone expected to use it with drugs.
Those are among the factors a court considers in deciding whether an object is drug paraphernalia, as the section lists them. All drug paraphernalia is subject to forfeiture.
What counts as drug paraphernalia is defined elsewhere in the law, and the cannabis rules have their own page. Whether an object found in a particular search is paraphernalia is a question of fact and law for a licensed Arizona attorney.
