I don't really understand the laws on paraphernalia here. I can go right now to a dozen "smokeshops" within five miles, and buy a glass "oil pipe" for $3, next to enormous elaborate bells-and-whistles college kid "water pipes". Before medical weed, you just made sure there was no screen in the bong.
And even still gas stations sell little plastic flowers in glass "vases" that are just shitty glass pipes. Next to the shoe laces for the junkies and the socks for the paint huffers and the brillo pads for the crack heads.
BUT somehow once it gets in your car or your pocket, it's drug paraphernalia and a crime.
It shouldn't be paraphernalia until it has drug residue in it. That's the way I always understood the law. That can of course vary from state to state and municipality. Also they can always just charge you with whatever they want, then it's up to you to try to get it thrown out or beat it in court. One bullshit thing that happens all the time is people being charged with paraphernalia for syringes. Then again, I think almost all drug laws are utter fucking horse shit.
