Georgia’s Drug Paraphernalia Laws

Georgia considers drug paraphernalia to be anything that can be used to either manufacture or use an intoxicating substance. Things that fall into this category include pipes, bongs or syringes. Items used to make methamphetamines, such as tubes, beakers, or to distribute the drug, such as scales or bags, are also classified as drug paraphernalia.

Items that could be considered as drug paraphernalia include:

  • Roach clips
  • Pipes
  • Bongs
  • Water pipes
  • Syringes
  • Cigarette papers

The penalties for a drug paraphernalia possession conviction could include a maximum of one year behind bars and up to $1,000 in fines. In addition, you will develop a criminal record that can be accessed by third parties—including potential employers and university admission boards.

Often, a person arrested for drug possession will be charged with paraphernalia possession as well. In many cases, the prosecution will offer to drop the drug paraphernalia case in exchange for a guilty plea to the drug possession charges. This type of plea bargain is not always in your best interest, so working with a defense lawyer is recommended.
