drug paraphernalia
Pipes and syringes
Drug paraphernalia refers to equipment associated with the preparation, consumption, or concealment of illegal drugs.
The term covers a wide range: pipes, bongs, syringes, scales, small spoons, razor blades, and certain containers.
What counts as paraphernalia often depends on context and intent—a glass pipe sold as a tobacco accessory may become drug paraphernalia when residue is found.
The phrase appears frequently in criminal statutes: He was arrested for possession of drug paraphernalia.
