(a) To determine whether an object is drug paraphernalia, a court shall consider, among other logically relevant factors:
(1) any statement by an owner or a person in control of the object concerning its use;
(2) any prior conviction of an owner or a person in control of the object under a State or federal law relating to a controlled dangerous substance;
(3) the proximity of the object, in time and space, to a direct violation of this section or to a controlled dangerous substance;
(4) a residue of a controlled dangerous substance on the object;
(5) direct or circumstantial evidence of the intent of an owner or a person in control of the object to deliver it to another who, the owner or the person knows or should reasonably know, intends to use the object to facilitate a violation of this section;
(6) any instructions, oral or written, provided with the object concerning its use;
(7) any descriptive materials accompanying the object that explain or depict its use;
(8) national and local advertising concerning use of the object;
(9) the manner in which the object is displayed for sale;
(10) whether the owner or a person in control of the object is a licensed distributor or dealer of tobacco products or other legitimate supplier of related items to the community;
(11) direct or circumstantial evidence of the ratio of sales of the object to the total sales of the business enterprise;
(12) the existence and scope of legitimate uses for the object in the community; and
(13) expert testimony concerning use of the object.
(b) The innocence of an owner or a person in control of the object as to a direct violation of this section does not prevent a finding that the object is intended for use or designed for use as drug paraphernalia.
