Is it illegal to just have paraphernalia minus the drugs? If someone had like razors and straws or bend spoons in a little container, can they get in trouble for this?

Hello K:

In some states, YES. And, if there's ANY drug residue on the hardware, YES again.

In Georgia, yes, each state has their own laws, and even where illegal each court has their opinoins ( DA )

But yes, you can be stopped, arrested or ticketed for having the items.

The little roach clip from the rear view mirror was always my favorite one

I possess drugs and drug paraphernalia and usually on me. Little plastic bags and medications prescribed to me including controlled substances. I have to buy 1000 bags at a time. I also have needles and syringes.

I'm not going to carry 20 original bulk bottles around with the labels - sorry.

Your kit looks suspicious though, mine would not.
Drug residue would definitely be a problem with that kit.

Hey, and I even have a small digital scale in the house that I use occaisionally for postage.
