Drug paraphernalia falls under which two categories?
First time users and long-time users
User specific and dealer specific
Inhalation specific and injection specific
None of the above
The correct answer is: User specific and dealer specific
In the context of security guard responsibilities and law enforcement, drug paraphernalia is usually grouped into two categories: user specific and dealer specific. User specific refers to items used by substance users to consume the drugs, such as bongs, pipes, rolling papers, spoons, straws, needles etc. These items aid in the administration or use of the drug. On the other hand, dealer specific items are employed by those who are selling or distributing the drugs. These can include digital scales for weighing substances, baggies for packaging, cutting agents for diluting pure drugs and increasing profits, etc. They help in the illegal trading and distribution of drugs. These categories aid in identifying the type of drug activity that may be occurring and can provide evidence for legal proceedings. Therefore, it's important for security personnel, like those in Ontario, to recognize these distinctions as part of fulfilling their duties of observing, documenting, and reporting suspicious activities.
