Summary

The New Jersey Supreme Court affirmed the Appellate Division, holding that the State’s Drug Paraphernalia Act is constitutional, not void for vagueness or overbroad, and that its advertising provision does not violate the First Amendment. The Court construed the statute to require actual knowledge (practically certain) of illegal use, and found the law sufficiently clear for enforcement.
