    Default Possession of Marijuana and Drug Paraphernalia Charges in Maryland

    My question involves criminal law for the state of: Maryland

    My girl friend and I were in an empty parking lot, with the car parked. After sitting there for a while: listening to music, smoking ciggs, and "messing around" a County cop pulls up next to us. At first he just asked what we were doing and I told him I was just about to finish my cigg then we were going to get going. He then asked what was on my shit and for us to step out of the car. After showing him it was tobacco, he told us to stand at the back of the car and wait for his back up to arrive. After a brief search of the car he came up with a gas mask bong, two bowls, and an empty container of wicked x. I was cuffed as soon as the first bowl was found. I had no ID on me, but i co operated with the officers. I told them my full name, my age (17), my birth date, and where my father lives. I was put in the back of a squad car and taken to my fathers house. I was told that I was being charged with drug paraphernalia, but neither I nor my father signed anything, or received and kind of paper work at all. My girl friend on the other hand, who is 19 was detained. She was at the police station for a good 5 hours and when she came home she had two charges, Possession of Marijuana and drug paraphernalia. The alleged marijuana was the little bit of wicked x (incense) left in the container. I know the maximum penalties for both charges but what is a more likely reprimand for two first time offenders with completely clear records? Will the Possession charge be dropped once they test the wicked x? Also seeing as I never received a citation or any paperwork will I be charged?
    Thanks,
    Ego

    Possession of marijuana, as should be obvious from the name of the charge, requires as a necessary element that you possess marijuana. If you didn't have marijuana, you didn't have marijuana.

    We have no way of telling you if you will be charged. You were told that you would be charged, so odds are that will happen - but the prosecutor may be waiting, for example, for the test results you claim will clear you of possessing marijuana.

    Can I be charged for possession of marijuana from the marijuana resin in the bowls that they confiscated?
