Drug Paraphernalia Laws in New Jersey

The New Jersey drug paraphernalia laws make it illegal for anyone to use or possess with the intent to use drug paraphernalia. Drug paraphernalia as defined in the New Jersey law, includes every piece of equipment or object that can be used or is intended to be used for planting, propagating, cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding, converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body any drug or toxic or controlled substance. While drug paraphernalia crimes are very strictly enforced still, certain drug crime defenses can work in favor of the accused. The prosecution must be initiated within one year from the commission of the offense. The intention becomes essential to secure a trial under drug paraphernalia laws. If there is no intention to use drug paraphernalia for a purpose as mentioned in the law, then there will be no conviction.
