In determining whether an object is “drug paraphernalia”, a court or jury shall consider, in addition to all other logically relevant factors, the following: 1. Statements by an owner or by anyone in control of the object concerning its use; 2. The proximity of the object, in time and space, to a direct violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act; 3. The proximity of the object to controlled dangerous substances; 4. The existence of any residue of controlled dangerous substances on the object; 5. Direct or circumstantial evidence of the intent of an owner, or of anyone in control of the object, to deliver it to any person who intends to use the object to facilitate a violation of the Uniform Controlled Dangerous Substances Act. The innocence of an owner, or of anyone in control of the object, as to a direct violation of this act shall not prevent a finding that the object is intended for use, or fashioned specifically for use, as drug paraphernalia; 6. Instructions, oral or written, provided with the object which either state directly or imply that the object is to be used for the consumption of controlled dangerous substances; 7. Descriptive materials accompanying the object which explain or depict its use as an object for the consumption of controlled dangerous substances; 8. The manner in which the object is displayed for sale; 9. Whether the owner, or anyone in control of the object, is a legitimate supplier of like or related items to the community, such as a licensed distributor or dealer of tobacco products; 10. Direct or circumstantial evidence of the ratio of sales of the object or objects to the total sales of the business enterprise; 11. The existence and scope of legitimate uses for the object in the community; and 12. Expert testimony concerning its use. Provided, nothing in this section shall apply to objects in the possession of harm-reduction services providers as authorized by Section 3 of this act. Added by Laws 1981, c. 62, § 2, emerg. eff.
