Drug paraphernalia may include the following items:
- Bongs
- Pipes
- Roach clips
- Rolling papers
- Water pipes
- Needles
- Syringes
Due to the general nature of some of these items, it may be difficult for the prosecution to prove that the items were possessed with intent to aid drug usage. Whether or not the items are proven to be drug paraphernalia may depend on the following circumstances: testimony on the use of the paraphernalia in relation to drugs by an expert, other uses the potential paraphernalia may have, any statements made by the owner on the intended use of the item(s), evidence of an intent to use the item in violation of the law, and whether or not the item has drug residue on it.
