Las Vegas Criminal Defense Attorney
Charged With Possessing Drug Paraphernalia? We Fight For You When It Matters Most

Las Vegas Drug Paraphernalia Attorney

Nevada and U.S. Laws on Drug Paraphernalia

It is at least a misdemeanor to unlawfully use, possess, or sell drug paraphernalia. This includes many types of pipes or postage scales, bongs, wired cigarette papers, and cocaine freebase tobacco kits. An apparatus that is illegal includes any item that is used for production, concealment, and consumption of banned controlled substances. It is illegal to transact any sell or purchase of this paraphernalia online or through the mail.

Both state and federal law recognize that there may be legitimate reasons as to why someone would possess or sell drug paraphernalia, such as a tobacco business, but more often than not, contraband paraphernalia is only marketed as if it were legal. In an effort to market to younger consumers, some of these items are even produced in bright and attractive colors. Too easily, drug paraphernalia can be sold or bought in novelty shops and convenience stores around Las Vegas. As possessing or selling this equipment violates both state and federal law, many complex and serious penalties accompany any drug paraphernalia charges. This is not a time to counter alone or with novice representation. You need a hard-hitting, experienced drug crime lawyer.

Drug Paraphernalia Charges and Penalties

In Nevada, unlawful or even attempted use, or possession of drug paraphernalia is a misdemeanor. This is punishable by up to 6 months in county jail and/or up to $1,000 in fines. As your charges may include illegally using the internet or mail, this could lead to further charges of internet crime, or even federal crime. Especially when facing federal charges, you could be charged with a felony, entailing prison time and heftier fines. As severe as that is, even more serious are the consequences that could follow you for the rest of your life. Life as a convicted felon would be living with a stain on your record, adversely affecting basic opportunities for work and housing.
