The equipment that is used when producing, concealing or consuming illegal drugs is called Drug Paraphernalia. Under Federal Law the definition of drug paraphernalia is "any equipment, product or material of any kind which is primarily intended or designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing, processing, preparing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or introducing into the human body a controlled substance".
Drug abuse is extremely widespread and affects people of all ages. Many times our young people that experiment with drug use have paraphernalia lying around the house or in their possession and unless a parent has seen them before, they would never know some of these items are associated with drug use.
