In my state possession of of less than a zip is a misdemeanor as long as it's your first offense, and the same applies to possession of paraphernalia. I was thinking though... If you get busted with weed AND paraphernalia on you at the same time, can they turn the paraphernalia charge into a felony by saying your "first offense" was having the weed on you as well? Or vice versa. I doubt it, but it's much better safe than sorry so I figured I'd ask.
This may depend on state law but I'm reasonably certain it is lumped into a single strike in most places. Search through the government sites for your state.
