There really isn't a difference. Possession of Drug Paraphernalia means you're caught possessing a pipe, rolling papers, or other item that can be directly connected to the use of a narcotic. Possessing an instrument of crime includes drug paraphernalia but extend to burglary tools, weapons, etc. The former may be a lesser charge of the second.
