The display of drugs and narcotics paraphernalia in business
establishments, open to the public and frequented by minors, tends
to induce acquisition and use by minors for smoking, injecting or
consumption of controlled substances. Possession and use of controlled
substances are prohibited or limited by the Controlled Substances
Act, California Health and Safety Code, Section 11000, et seq. It
is the intent and purpose of this chapter to eliminate the exposure
of minors to such devices and, thereby, curb the sale to and use of
illicit and harmful drugs and narcotics to and by minors in the interest
of their mental and physical health.
(Ord. 1170 § 1, (1980))
No owner, manager, proprietor or other person in charge of any
room in any place of business selling or displaying for the purpose
of sale, any device, contrivance, instrument or paraphernalia for
smoking or injection, or consuming marijuana, hashish, PCP or any
controlled substance, as defined in the California Health and Safety
Code, as well as roach clips, and cigarette papers and rollers designed
for the smoking of the foregoing, other than prescription drugs and
devices to ingest or inject prescription drugs, shall allow or permit
any person under the age of 18 years to be, remain in, enter or visit
such room unless such minor person is accompanied by one of his or
her parents, or by his or her legal guardian.
(Ord. 1170 § 1, (1980))
A person under the age of 18 years shall not be, remain in,
enter or visit any room in any place used for the sale, or displaying
for sale, devices, contrivances, instruments or paraphernalia for
smoking or injecting or consuming marijuana, hashish, PCP or any controlled
substance, including roach clips and cigarette papers and rollers
designed and used for smoking the foregoing, other than prescription
drugs and devices to ingest or inject prescription drugs, unless such
person is accompanied by one of his or her parents, or his or her
legal guardian.
(Ord. 1170 § 1, (1980))
A person shall not maintain in any place of business to which
the public is invited the display for sale, or the offering to sell,
of devices, contrivances, instruments or paraphernalia for smoking
or injecting or consuming marijuana, hashish, PCP or any controlled
substance, including roach clips, and cigarette papers and rollers
designed and used for smoking the foregoing, other than prescription
drugs and devices, unless within a separate room or enclosure to which
minors not accompanied by a legal guardian are excluded. Each entrance
to such a room shall be sign posted in letters not less than two inches
in height with words to the effect that narcotic paraphernalia are
being offered for sale in such a room, and minors unless accompanied
by a parent or legal guardian are excluded.
(Ord. 1170 § 1, (1980))
A violation of any of the provisions of this chapter is declared
to be a public nuisance, and may be abated pursuant to the provisions
of Section 731 of the California Code of Civil Procedure. This remedy
is in addition to any other remedy provided by law, including the
criminal penalty provisions applicable for violation of the terms
and provisions of this code.
