Additional Details

No. Drug paraphernalia is the stuff/equipment that is used with the drug in question.


Bistro
NO

paraphernalia refers to an instrument used to smoke the herb, such as a pipe or bong, with residue that proves it was used for that purpose.

No. No No. not by itself

Yes, if it is used in the use of a controlled, or illegal substance - and especially if it contains any residue

No. Unless it contains residue that can easily be identified as marajuana.

On any given Sunday...with the right cop...or the wrong cop as the case may be..a bible could be considered drug paraphernilia

uh DUH


Right on
No that wouldn't be considered illegal. They are talking about needles, smoking pipes for Marijuana etc.
You are joking.......... right?


David R
No


Loss Leader
No, it can't.

It's basically a first amendment issue.

But can I guarantee the cops won't hassle you? No. They'd be wrong, but they could give you a hard time.

Only if you're lighting a bong with it.

No, but it could give some people the wrong impression of you.

NO. Not by itself. Perhaps if found with other paraphanelia.

Im not absolutely sure but it might since it "advertises" a type of drug. But some people might say the lighter itself is drug paraphernalia since they consider ciggarettes to be drugs, plus you would use it to light up a joint, right?.....

Actually, just having the lighter would probably get you searched by the law enforcement official that detained you.
Any contraband turned up in said search resulting in an arrest and charge could be challenged as being obtained through an illegal search.
Your word against a peace officer.
Law enforcement is usually going to make the arrest on a questionable search and try to make the case more often than not.
'Paraphernalia' has become broader as to what is included under it's umbrella.

no cause my room is filled with them

I have one with a pistol on it, is it classed as a firearm..


Kevin B
No, but if I were a cop who stopped you for speeding, I might presume that you were holding and trump up some charges for you to get a closer peek of what else you might have with a marijuana leaf on it, including your dime bag stuffed down your pants.


stephen p
No, it is NOT paraphernalia, but if a police officer sees the marijuana leaf design on it, he may be tempted to be a bit more "inquisitive" about what else you might have on you or in your vehicle. It's like having a marijuana leaf tatoo, normally only people who USE will DISPLAY. My advice is to put the Zippo away as a collector's item and carry another lighter without the leaf.
