The possession of drug paraphernalia is a misdemeanor offense. It includes possessing any type of product, equipment or material that was intended or designed to be used for the growing, manufacturing, producing, testing, packaging, storing or using of illegal drugs such as heroin, cocaine, marijuana and crack. The penalties for a conviction in a drug paraphernalia case include:
- A minimum of one day in jail up to 90 days in jail
