Florida Governor Rick Scott has signed legislation that will make possession of a pipe a third degree felony beginning July 1. A third degree felony in Florida could result in a five year prison term, a loss of the right to vote, and a lifelong criminal stigma.
The specific bill in question is HB49 / SB1140. Under the new law signed by Scott, any person caught with a smoking device twice will be subject to a third degree felony charge, even if the pipe has never been smoked in. Therefore this includes hookah and tobacco, not just illicit drugs.
