Is It Illegal To Possess Marijuana Paraphernalia In Texas?

It is technically not illegal to possess some marijuana paraphernalia. Cannabis can either be marijuana or it can be hemp. Hemp is legal at this point but hemp is still not allowed to be smoked. Paraphernalia for smoking marijuana is illegal. However, drug paraphernalia includes a whole host of other things. The problem is that if you are charged with marijuana paraphernalia possession, you are actually going to be charged with possession of drug paraphernalia. It might as well mean a spoon and a needle.

Typically, the cops won’t charge possession of drug paraphernalia (PDP) unless they don’t have any other drugs to charge someone with. If they are charging you with drugs, they are not going to also charge you with possession of drug paraphernalia. Also, drug paraphernalia can factor in for immigration consequences. If you are not a US citizen and you are charged with possession of drug paraphernalia, I would recommend that you have an attorney helping you. You are not entitled to a court-appointed attorney on Class C misdemeanors like PDP but possession of drug paraphernalia could have disastrous consequences for you if you were to ever apply to become naturalized as a US citizen.
