Drug Paraphernalia Explained: Why That Baggie Can Lead to a Separate Charge

Описание: Getting arrested for drug possession is tough enough, but then you see an additional charge for drug paraphernalia and wonder, 'What does that even mean?' Here in Florida, drug paraphernalia can be anything from the baggie containing the drug to the pipe or bong you might use. It’s a separate misdemeanor charge that can carry up to a year in jail, even if no actual drugs are found on you.

Most of the time, drug paraphernalia charges come hand-in-hand with a drug possession charge, but I've seen cases where even residue on a bong or a simple baggie can lead to a separate criminal charge. It’s frustrating, and sometimes law enforcement isn't even right about what's considered paraphernalia. Social media has quite a few videos out there where cops thought donut glaze was crack cocaine, and so on....

If you're facing possession of drug paraphernalia charges in Central Florida, don't lose hope. I've been defending these cases for over 31 years, and there are ways to fight back and get these charges dismissed. Give our office a call, and let's work together to protect your rights and your future.
