Unlawful Delivery or Manufacture of Drug Paraphernalia
PARAPHERNALIA: H.R.S. § 329-43.5(b)
[In Count (count number) of the Indictment/Complaint, the]
[The] Defendant, (defendant’s name), is charged with the offense
of Unlawful [Delivery] [Manufacture] of Drug Paraphernalia.
A person commits the offense of Unlawful [Delivery]
[Manufacture] of Drug Paraphernalia if he/she [delivers]
[possesses with intent to deliver] [manufactures with intent to
deliver] an object with the intent that it would be used to
[plant] [propagate] [cultivate] [grow] [harvest] [manufacture]
[compound] [convert] [produce] [process] [prepare] [test]
[analyze] [pack] [repack] [store] [contain] [conceal] [inject]
[ingest] [inhale] [introduce into a human body] a controlled
substance, knowingly, or under circumstances where one
reasonably should know, that the object would be used as drug
paraphernalia.
There are two material elements of the offense of Unlawful
Delivery of Drug Paraphernalia, each of which the prosecution
must prove beyond a reasonable doubt.
These two elements are:
1. That, on or about (date) in the [City and] County of
(name of county), the Defendant [delivered] [possessed with
intent to deliver] [manufactured with intent to deliver] (name
or description of object(s)) with the intent that the object
would be used to [plant] [propagate] [cultivate] [grow]
[harvest] [manufacture] [compound] [convert] [produce] [process]
[prepare] [test] [analyze] [pack] [repack] [store] [contain]
[conceal] [inject] [ingest] [inhale] [introduce into a human
body] a controlled substance; and
2. That the Defendant did so knowing, or under
circumstances where one reasonably should know, that the (name
or description of object(s)) would be used as drug
paraphernalia.
“Deliver” or “delivery” means the actual, constructive, or
attempted transfer or sale from one person to another of a
controlled substance or drug paraphernalia, whether or not there
is an agency relationship.
“Drug paraphernalia” means all equipment, products, and
materials of any kind which are used, primarily intended for
use, or primarily designed for use, in planting, propagating,
cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding,
converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing,
analyzing, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing,
concealing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise
introducing into the human body a controlled substance. It
includes, but is not limited to:
[Kits used, primarily intended for use, or primarily
designed for use in planting, propagating, cultivating,
growing, or harvesting of any species of plant which is a
controlled substance or from which a prohibited controlled
substance can be derived;
Kits used, primarily intended for use, or primarily
designed for use in manufacturing, compounding, converting,
producing, processing, or preparing prohibited controlled
substances;
Isomerization devices used, primarily intended for use, or
primarily designed for use in increasing the potency of any
species of plant which is a prohibited controlled
substance;
Testing equipment used, primarily intended for use, or
primarily designed for use in identifying, or in analyzing
the strength, effectiveness, or purity of prohibited
controlled substances;
Scales and balances used, primarily intended for use, or
primarily designed for use in weighing or measuring
prohibited controlled substances;
Diluents and adulterants; such as quinine hydrochloride,
mannitol, mannite, dextrose, and lactose, used, primarily
intended for use, or primarily designed for use in cutting
prohibited controlled substances;
Separation gins and sifters used, primarily intended for
use, or primarily designed for use in removing twigs and
seeds from, or in otherwise cleaning or refining,
prohibited marijuana;
Blenders, bowls containers, spoons, and mixing devices
used, primarily intended for use, or primarily designed for
use in compounding prohibited controlled substances;
Capsules, balloons, envelopes, and other containers used,
primarily intended for use, or primarily designed for use
in packaging small quantities of prohibited controlled
substances;
Containers and other objects used, primarily intended for
use, or primarily designed for use in storing or concealing
prohibited controlled substances;
Hypodermic syringes, needles, and other objects used,
primarily intended for use, or primarily designed for use
in parenterally injecting prohibited controlled substances
into the human body;
Objects used, primarily intended for use, or primarily
designed for use in ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise
introducing prohibited marijuana, cocaine, hashish, hashish
oil, or methamphetamine into the human body, such as:
(A) Metal, wooden, acrylic, glass, stone, plastic, or
ceramic pipes with or without screens, permanent
screens, hashish heads, or punctured metal bowls;
(B) Water pipes;
(C) Carburetion tubes and devices;
(D) Smoking and carburetion masks;
(E) Roach clips: meaning objects used to hold burning
materials, such as marijuana cigarettes, that
have become too small or too short to be held in
the hand;
(F) Miniature cocaine spoons, and cocaine vials;
(G) Chamber pipes;
(H) Carburetor pipes;
(I) Electric pipes;
(J) Air-driven pipes;
(K) Chillums;
(L) Bongs; and
(M) Ice pipes or chillers.]
In determining whether an object is drug paraphernalia, you
should 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) Prior convictions, if any, of an owner, or of anyone
in control of the object, under any state or federal
law relating to any controlled substance;
(3) The proximity of the object, in time and space, to a
direct violation of any state law relating to any
controlled substance;
(4) The proximity of the object to controlled substances;
(5) The existence of any residue of controlled substances
on the object;
(6) Direct or circumstantial evidence of the intent of an
owner, or of anyone in control of the object, to
deliver it to any person whom the owner or person in
control knows, or should reasonably know, intends to
use the object to introduce into the human body a
controlled substance; the innocence of an owner, or of
anyone in control of the object, as to any state law
relating to any controlled substance shall not prevent
a finding that the object is intended for use or
designed for use as drug paraphernalia;
(7) Instructions, oral or written, provided with the
object concerning its use;
(8) Descriptive materials accompanying the object which
explain or depict its use;
(9) National and local advertising concerning its use;
(10) The manner in which the object is displayed for sale;
(11) 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;
(12) Direct or circumstantial evidence of the ratio of
sales of the object or objects to the total sales of
the business enterprise;
(13) The existence and scope of legitimate uses for the
object in the community; and
(14) Expert testimony concerning its use.
In order for the object to be drug paraphernalia, the
prosecution must prove that the defendant intended that the
object be used with a controlled substance. Although the
prosecution need not demonstrate the presence of any of the 14
factors to prove the defendant’s intent, the presence or absence
of any of the specific factors along with all other logically
relevant factors may be used to infer the defendant’s intent or
the lack of such intent. Without the defendant’s intent to use
the object with a controlled substance, none of the specific
examples or factors listed above can transform the object into
drug paraphernalia.
