PER CURIAM.
Affirmed. See Bush v. State, 295 So.3d 179, 199-200 (Fla. 2020) (holding that the standard to be applied in all cases when analyzing the sufficiency of the evidence is "whether the State presented competent, substantial evidence to support the verdict"); State v. Odom, 862 So.2d 56, 59 (Fla. 2d DCA 2003) ("[K]nowledge of the presence of the contraband and its illicit nature could be inferred or presumed because [defendant] was in exclusive possession of the automobile when it was stopped."); Grady v. State, 753 So. 744, 745 (Fla. 3d DCA 2000) (providing that factors to be considered "in determining whether an object is drug paraphernalia" include "the proximity of the object to controlled substances" and "expert testimony concerning its use").
