According to norml.org (http://norml.org/index.cfm?wtm_view=&Group_ID=4566), it says that it is a class c misdemeanor with no incarceration time. Does this mean if a cop catches me with a marijuana pipe I will basically just get a citation and not be arrested? Serious answers only please.

It's already been stated that the drug laws differ in each state. My own state has a "paraphernalia" law which states:
"Definition of "drug paraphernalia". - As used in this section, the term "drug paraphernalia" means all equipment, products, and materials of any kind which are used, intended for use, or designed for use, in planting, propagating, cultivating, growing, harvesting, manufacturing, compounding, converting, producing, processing, preparing, testing, analyzing, packaging, repackaging, storing, containing, concealing, injecting, ingesting, inhaling, or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled substance in violation of the controlled substances laws of this state. Any person who violates this subsection is guilty of a class A misdemeanor and upon conviction shall be punished as prescribed by law."
Best wishes!

for your location, each state has its own law on this.
But basicly yes, if there is no drugs, just drug items, you will just recieve a fine. But if you don't have proper ID, or you will not sign the ticket, just like in traffic tickets, they can take you in and book you and make you post bail.
But normally those with drug items also have small amounts of durgs usually

For one it depends what you get caught with. If its just a bowl, you should be fine, but if you also have pot, your busted! you also have to consider if you give them a hard time about it. if you lie about it and they find it, your getting arrested, but if you tell them what you have, you should be fine. just don't carry pot on your person, better yet, dont do it at all!
