Here's what I got from the state:
A person commits an offense if the person knowingly or intentionally uses or possesses with intent to use drug paraphernalia. A person commits an offense if the person knowingly or intentionally delivers, possesses with intent to deliver, or manufactures with intent to deliver drug. An offense for possession of drug paraphernalia is a Class C misdemeanor an offense for delivery of drug paraphernalia is a Class A misdemeanor if the defendant has no paraphernalia convictions. There are numerous provisions that allow the state to enhance the punishment ranges for possession of drug paraphernalia and subsequent charges can greatly enhance the ranges of punishments.
Once convicted you may be given deferred adjudication: You will have a criminal record!
You can get it sealed by petition the same court with or without an attorney. Of course the non attorney route is the lease expensive.
