A usable quantity for simple possession but there is a threshold amount for other charges such as possession for sale.
The charge would be "being found in possession of drugs paraphanalia".
All of them and then that depends on exactly how much you got caught with and if it is a simple possession charge or a sales or manufacturing charge. If you got caught for simple possession, no they wont. But, if you got caught with 3 grams or better and charged with Sales or Manufacturing, you better believe they will come and get you.
Possession of meth in a drug free zone .....
If there is residue in the pipe and it is a measurable amount then chances are yes they can charge you with possession, meth laws are extremely strict on defendants and even the littlest amount can add up to pretty severe punishment. If there is enough meth in the pipe to cause a positive drug test with a kit, then you're in trouble.
