Are you aware of different drug paraphernalia? If you are aware of all of them, it does not mean that you are a drug user or a drug addict. It just means that you are aware of what is happening around you.

To those people who are not familiar with this, drug paraphernalia are different things or equipment that are use in making and using illegal drugs like cocaine, marijuana, methamphetamine and heroin. There are two different kinds of drug paraphernalia:

• User-specific products – these kinds of products are sold to drug users in order to perform the activity well. Some of these products are pipes, masks, clips and other things in order to hide the illegal drugs.

• Dealer Specific products – these kinds of products are used by drug traffickers. They use this product when they already distribute the illegal drugs to different people. Sample of this products are scale, baggies and vials.

According to the law, it is illegal to possess the said paraphernalia. Actually, not only possess but also to transport, sell, and import or export these kinds of things. The law is providing guidelines to determine if the paraphernalia is used in illegal drugs or not.

How about the sales of drug paraphernalia? Way back in 1960s up to 1970s in the United States, the selling of drug paraphernalia was very obvious. During those times, you could see many shops selling different drug paraphernalia. You will also find home-made paraphernalia. Some people even sold them on the street which a lot of people could see. Nowadays, people can’t sell their products on the street and other places like stores but how about the internet?
