Until Jan. 1, 2012, 4140 prohibited possession of a syringe without a license
Aggravated Felony (AF)

Crime Involving Moral Turpitude (CIMT)

Other Removal Grounds
Should not be a conviction of a CS offense. See other defense options at H&S C 11377
Advice and Comments
Because 4141 has no element pertaining to a CS, it is not a CS offense and should have no immigration consequences.
A prior conviction for B&P C 4140, repealed effective 2012, also lacks CS as an element and is not a CS. It served as an alternative plea to, e.g., H&S C 11364.
