Re: first offense drug posession and paraphenalia
If all you had was marijuana and a 1st offense paraphernalia, then it's just a misdemeanor and carries up to a year in jail. However, if you've had a prior paraphernalia charge, then it's a felony. Also possession of most other drugs are felonies: meth, cocaine, etc. which carries 1-5 years.
