Charged with Possession of Paraphernalia?
Possession of Paraphernalia in Wisconsin is a misdemeanor punishable by a fine of $500 and imprisonment of 30 days or both. You can be charged and convicted if you 1) possessed an item; 2) the item in questions was drug paraphernalia; and 3) you possessed the drug paraphernalia with the primary intent to use it to digest, inhale, or otherwise introduce into the human body a controlled substance. “Drug Paraphernalia” means all equipment, products and materials of any kind that are used, designed for use or primarily intended for use in planting, propagating, cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding, converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance or controlled substance analog.
What is not considered drug paraphernalia
Items that are primarily used for other legal means are not automatically considered drug paraphernalia. These items include hypodermic syringes, needles and other objects used for medical purposes. Similarly, items such as pipes, papers and accessories, that are designed for use or primarily intended for use with tobacco products are not automatically considered “drug paraphernalia.” A court will consider the subjective motive or intended use of these items when determining whether or not the items are in violation of Wisconsin Statute.
