753.05 STANDARDS FOR DETERMINATION OF DRUG PARAPHERNALIA.
   (a)   In determining whether an object is drug paraphernalia, a court or other authority may 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)   Direct or circumstantial evidence of the intent of an owner, or anyone in control of the object, to deliver it to persons whom he knows, or should reasonably know, intend to use the object to facilitate a violation of this chapter. The innocence of an owner, or of anyone in control of the object, as to a direct violation of this chapter shall not prevent a finding that the object is intended for use, or designed for use, as drug paraphernalia;
      (4)   Instructions, oral or written, provided with the object concerning its use;
      (5)   Descriptive materials, accompanying the object which explain or depict its use;
      (6)   National and local advertising concerning its use;
      (7)   The manner in which the object is displayed for sale particularly on premises in pictures, drawings or cartoons;
      (8)   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 or tobacco products;
      (9)   The existence and scope of legitimate uses for the object in the community;
      (10)   Expert testimony concerning its use.
