yeah.. i think i remember getting a strange look in amsterdam when i asked for a bowl.. think they call them pipes, but i'll let the dude from across golden pond answer that one for sure..
yes, posession of paraphanalia is most likely only going to be a misdameanor... and everyone gets one get out of jail card so to speak.. your first bust will usually get thrown out if you don't get into any kind of trouble for a year or so... some states make you do a little bit of paper work to get it off of your record, others a good lawyer will work..
i am down with the person who asked if you were present at the time of the arrest.. if not, any good lawyer will get the charges dropped without too much of a problem. i would suggest getting a lawyer for just about anykind of charges against you..
good luck man.. florida is a tough state.. but don't feel bad.. i just got arrested for under a gram of weed.. spent 12 hours in the most roach infested cell i have ever been in.. i ended up paying like $190 or so, and it was dropped down to like a ticket, and they called it nfp.. no farther penalties.. no probation and the like.. i think you should be fine with a para. charge...
best of luck ...
