Possession or Use of Drug Paraphernalia Lawyer

Possession or Use of Drug Paraphernalia – A.R.S. § 13-3415 is a class 6 felony offense in Arizona. Drug paraphernalia can be broadly defined to include almost anything. Drug paraphernalia commonly refers to items that are used to smoke drugs such as pipes or other smoking devices, needles that are used to inject drugs, and containers that could be used to store drugs. Other items may include scales, used to weigh drugs, baggies, or tinfoil, used to transport drugs, and many other items. Drug Paraphernalia charges are almost always included with illegal drug possession charges.

Except as provided in section 36-2852 and section 36-2853, subsection C, it is unlawful for any person to use, or to possess with intent to use, drug paraphernalia to plant, propagate, cultivate, grow, harvest, manufacture, compound, convert, produce, process, prepare, test, analyze, pack, repack, store, contain, conceal, inject, ingest, inhale or otherwise introduce into the human body a drug in violation of this chapter.

Note: with the passage of Proposition 200, if the conviction is a first or second (non-violent) offense for the possession or use of drug paraphernalia, you can only be sentenced to probation, instead of jail or prison. However, if you violate probation, you can be taken into custody and spend up to several weeks in jail until your probation is reinstated.

You should never travel with drugs or drug paraphernalia in your vehicle. Many times, police officers will stop someone for a simple traffic violation and notice drug paraphernalia in plain sight, this could lead to a class 6 felony charge of Possession or Use of Drug Paraphernalia. The officer does not need cause if the drug paraphernalia is in plain sight. You should never consent to a search of your vehicle or person, but if the officer has cause, he will search your vehicle anyway.

As a member of the AOR program, Attourney Rachel Moss helped handle a situation I was involved in and I can’t say enough good things about her and the program itself. She had my back immediately and helped me throughout the entire ordeal. She was very quick to respond to me, answered all my questions and helped me out tremendously. I would totally recommend the AOR program to others.

I just completed the upgrade, and it was easy and quick because I had already watched the video. I watched again most of it to refresh my memory of all the benefits. To have representation before a self-defense incident is comforting therefore not hesitate to protect myself and my family under duress. I know I don't want to hurt or kill anyone with my firearm but to be afraid of the ramifications and die because I'm afraid for my family's existence is counterproductive to having a firearm at all. I recommend this method, as one of the steps in self-defense.
Response from the owner:Hi Casey. Thanks for your kind words! We are honored to represent you. Marc
