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.
