Which statute defines drug paraphernalia?

• A. NRS 28-439
• B. NRS 28-405
• C. NRS 28-1
• D. NRS 84-12

Answer: (A)

Drug paraphernalia is defined in Nevada law by a statute that lists items used to prepare, package, store, or consume illegal drugs. The statute that does this explicitly defines paraphernalia and gives examples such as pipes, syringes, scales, baggies, and rolling papers—devices intended for use with controlled substances. Knowing where paraphernalia is defined helps explain when possession or use of these items supports a drug offense, even without possessing the drug itself. The other statutes cited relate to different topics or general provisions and do not provide this specific definition of drug paraphernalia.
