Summary

Existing law makes it a crime to possess, deliver, furnish, or transfer drug paraphernalia, as specified, or to loiter in any public place with the intent to engage in drug-related activity, which intent may be shown by the possession of drug paraphernalia, and requires a business that keeps, displays, or offers drug paraphernalia to meet specified requirements with respect to minors and drug paraphernalia or be subject to the revocation, nonrenewal, or denial of a local business license, as specified. "Drug paraphernalia" is defined for purposes of these provisions to include objects designed or marketed for use in various activities relating to the production, sale, and consumption of specified controlled substances, including the ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing of those controlled substances into the human body. Existing law also lists specified items which are included in the definition of "drug paraphernalia." This bill would revise the definition of "drug paraphernalia" to refer to those same objects when designed or marketed for use in the unlawful conduct of those acts, including the unlawful ingesting, inhaling, or other introduction of those controlled substances into the human body. This bill would delete the lists of specified items included in the definition of "drug paraphernalia" and make conforming changes to related provisions.
