Constitutionality.

- See High Ol' Times, Inc. v. Busbee, 673 F.2d 1225 (11th Cir. 1982).

Definition of "drug related objects" in O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32 provides adequate notice of the persons covered and the conduct proscribed and therefore does not render the section void for vagueness. High Ol' Times, Inc. v. Busbee, 673 F.2d 1225 (11th Cir. 1982).

Explicit standards necessary.

- If arbitrary and discriminatory enforcement is to be prevented, laws must provide explicit standards for those who apply them. High Ol' Times, Inc. v. Busbee, 515 F. Supp. 176 (N.D. Ga. 1980), rev'd on other grounds, 673 F.2d 1225 (11th Cir. 1982).

Section not repealed by implication.

- Despite the almost identical caption and punishment provisions, the enactment of O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32.1 was intended to be in addition to, rather than a substitute for, the existing statute (O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32); thus, O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32.1 did not repeal O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32 by implication. State v. Gill, 173 Ga. App. 848, 328 S.E.2d 561 (1985).

Notice of proceeding to condemn currency.

- Because O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32 does not require the notice of proceedings by publication to specify the time within which an answer must be filed, and the party reading the notice is charged with knowledge of the legal requirements, where the plaintiff did nothing to confirm time had expired or rectify the absence of a response, plaintiff could not show prejudice other than what was self-inflicted through lack of diligence, and plaintiff's out-of-time answer was untimely. Ragland v. State, 235 Ga. App. 830, 510 S.E.2d 587 (1998).

Digital scales.

- Given a police officer's testimony that the drugs found at the scene came from a bag which the defendant removed from a pants pocket, the jury was authorized to find that the defendant trafficked in cocaine, possessed cocaine with intent to distribute, and possessed less than one ounce of marijuana; moreover, the amount of cocaine at issue, as well as the defendant's possession of digital scales typically used to weigh drugs for distribution, permitted the jury to discount the defendant's own testimony and find an intention to distribute the drugs. Lipsey v. State, 287 Ga. App. 835, 652 S.E.2d 870 (2007).

O.C.G.A. § 16-13-32 does not exclude certain seeds, fiber, and oil from a marijuana plant as contraband. Lang v. State, 165 Ga. App. 576, 302 S.E.2d 683, cert. denied, 464 U.S. 937, 104 S. Ct. 346, 78 L. Ed. 2d 312 (1983).
