Thus, you should never take a drug paraphernalia charge lightly. Instead, seek the counsel of a Fort Lauderdale drug paraphernalia lawyer as soon as possible. You can rely on the team at The Law Offices of R. David Williams, P.A. to build an effective defense.

What Constitutes Drug Paraphernalia?

Drug paraphernalia charges can stem from an array of different elements. These include:
  • Equipment, products, and materials made for the use of drugs
  • Equipment designed for planting, growing or cultivating drugs
  • Equipment and products made for the compounding and processing of drugs
  • Equipment and products made for the storing and transportation of drugs

Items That Courts Could Consider To Be Paraphernalia

In Florida, the list of items considered drug paraphernalia is quite long. Often, an accused person is found in possession of kits used in the planting, cultivating, harvesting, processing or manufacturing of a controlled substance. A person could also face paraphernalia charges if he or she has testing equipment that identifies or analyzes the strength or effectiveness of a controlled substance.

Items that you might use to compound substances can also be paraphernalia. These include blenders, bowls, containers, and spoons. You could also be charged with possession of drug paraphernalia if you have hypodermic needles or syringes for injecting controlled substances into your body. Other common items that the law can classify as drug paraphernalia are water pipes, chamber pipes, electric pipes, and bongs.

Federal Charges For Drug Paraphernalia

In some situations, your drug paraphernalia charge could become a federal one if you traveled with the illicit items across state lines. This is not as common, but it does carry more severe penalties. Your prison term could be up to three years, with fines of more than $10,000. In addition, federal authorities could seize your property.

Your specific charges and penalties can depend on the number of paraphernalia items you possess. Any prior convictions can also impact your sentence.

Your Fort Lauderdale drug paraphernalia attorney will work diligently to defend you and establish an effective strategy. You can explore your options by discussing your case with an experienced lawyer in a free consultation today.

Defense Possibilities In A Drug Paraphernalia Case

One of the common ways your Fort Lauderdale drug paraphernalia lawyer will defend you is by examining how law enforcement officers discovered and seized the items. Your lawyer may file a motion to suppress evidence. This could be an effective strategy if there were any ways the stop, search, or arrest violated your Fourth Amendment rights. Also, if the prosecutor in your case does not have enough evidence to prove your guilt, your attorney may petition the court to dismiss your case. Your lawyer will also determine whether the items in your possession meet the legal definition for paraphernalia.
