Paraphernalia
Mo. Rev. Stat. § 579.074 — unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia is a class D misdemeanor
The offense. A person commits unlawful possession of drug paraphernalia by knowingly using, or possessing with intent to use, drug paraphernalia to grow, manufacture, prepare, test, pack, store, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce into the body a controlled or imitation controlled substance in violation of the law.
The class. It is a class D misdemeanor, and a class A misdemeanor for a person previously found guilty of any controlled substance offense. Using paraphernalia in combination to manufacture or prepare amphetamine or methamphetamine is a class E felony.
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 Missouri attorney.
