I was smoking in my room several hours before the knock, and cleaned the bong out before the incident. The bong did not have a downstem, bowl, water, or anything within.
My friends came over a couple hours after, and my RA knocked on the door and said she could smell weed coming from my room, and told me to open up or she would be calling the Campus Security Officer. Note that we haven't even started smoking yet. I decide to do so, she says she can see the bong, and will be calling the CSO for "backup."
My friends leave and the CSO comes. He asks to see the bong, and I comply. The bong was just as before, empty. He gives it back and tells me to bring it back home, but I'll be getting written up. They did not see any weed, and did not bother to search for anything. I have brought the bong home, and is no longer on school grounds.
So, I get a letter from the university stating that I broke housing contract rules and possessed/used marijuana. I'm planning to argue that since there was no physical evidence of marijuana within the water pipe, it should not be considered drug paraphernalia under the definition set by the DEA. And arguing the fact that they did not even bother looking for marijuana or saw any might be able to get the possession part dropped.
However, I am unable to explain the smell, since it did come from my friends. But they had their stuff in airtight jars, and I would feel stupid blaming the smell on an opened pack of Oreos...
Any chance I'll be able to get off without much consequences?
