The court dismissed the prosecution's request to confiscate drug paraphernalia, ruling that the defendant lacked the specific intent required under the relevant ordinance. The prosecution argued the items were used to prepare for drug intoxication, but the defense contended they were merely for personal hygiene or unrelated activities. The court found insufficient evidence proving the defendant intended to use the items for the purpose of preparing or consuming euphoric substances.
