      720 ILCS 600/4            from Ch. 56 1/2, par. 2104
          Amends the Drug Paraphernalia Control Act.  Defines  drug
      paraphernalia   to   include   any  item  described  as  drug
      paraphernalia that is advertised as a replica  or  decorative
      device  or  display  item.  Exempts these items when they are
      rendered entirely unworkable or  unusable  in  all  of  their
      parts   and   functions  so  that  they  cannot  be  used  or
      retrofitted  for  use  as  functioning   drug   paraphernalia
      devices.   Eliminates  exemption for items  that are marketed
      for  the  processing  or  use  of  tobacco  or  other  lawful
      substances and have not  historically  and  customarily  been
      used   in   connection   with   these   purposes.   Effective
      immediately.
