Paraphernalia
Wis. Stat. 961.573 — a fine of not more than $500 or not more than 30 days, and a felony for methamphetamine
The offense. No person may use, or possess with the primary intent to use, drug paraphernalia to grow, manufacture, prepare, test, pack, store, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce into the body a controlled substance or analog in violation of the chapter. A violation may be fined not more than $500 or imprisoned for not more than 30 days, or both.
Under 17. A person under 17 years of age who violates it is subject to a juvenile disposition under the section the statute names.
Methamphetamine. Using or possessing paraphernalia with the primary intent to manufacture, prepare, test, pack or store methamphetamine is a Class H felony, and a Class G felony for a person 18 years of age or older in the presence of a child 14 years of age or younger.
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 Wisconsin attorney.
