Question about drug paraphernalia?

Question

I live in alabama, and I was wondering if I could get in trouble for having a pipe or bong on me or in my car.

I will NOT be smoking anything illegal in them. Can they charge me with having them?

Answer 1

Don't know about the US, but in the UK, you might be charged with an offence of possession of whatever traces of drug are left in the bong and pipe (if there is sufficient to test etc) or incitement depending on what you told the police you were doing with it. In any event, it would be seized and destroyed.

Answer 2

In Arkansas you would be.  Called an instrument of crime.  Rightly so.  Why would you want to carry that c**p if youre not smoking?

Answer 3

Im not 100% sure on the rules there.  But as long as there is no residue from something illegal in the pipe they really cant get you because you can say you use it for tobacco.  But it will aloow them to search your car for other stuff.  So just be careful.  But really they cant because unless u have used it for illegal stuff then its not illegal to own a pipe or bong.

Answer 4

I doubt it. As long as there is no residue in it.

Although Alabama is one of those crazy southern states that like to lock people up for the smallest crimes.
