A.R.S. 13-3415

A.R.S. 13-3415 is the legal code for possession, manufacture, delivery, and advertisement of drug paraphernalia crimes.

Arizona law prohibits the use, possession, manufacture, and distribution of drug paraphernalia, which are items or tools associated with drug-related activities. It is illegal to use these items for activities like growing, making, or using drugs. Violating this law can result in a class 6 felony charge.

Additionally, the law makes it unlawful to advertise drug paraphernalia in newspapers or other publications, promoting their sale. All drug paraphernalia can be confiscated, even if the owner is not charged or is acquitted, as long as it’s intended or designed for drug-related use.

To determine if something is drug paraphernalia, the court considers various factors, including statements by the owner, past convictions, proximity to drug-related activities, residue of drugs, and any instructions or advertising associated with the object. The law aims to prevent the sale and use of items that facilitate drug-related offenses.
