Yeah, like everyone else has said, the only reason why pipes and shit can be considered illegal is if it has resin in it. If it has resin in it, it means you HAVE been breaking the law.

When my fucking parent called the cops on me for the first time, they came and she had 3 of my pipes on the table for them, and the cop said, "Now, now ya see here, son....we got you on a charge of possession with these pipes." I said, "Possession? But, sir, I don't have any marijuana on me." He says, "Yeah, but ya see here, ya got the resin in the pipe here, and thats as good as possession." I said, "NO, sir, I think you are mistaken. I have to actually POSSESS marijuana in order for this to be a marijuana possession charge." His partner said, "Now, boy! Don't you get smart! You don't want to see me get pissed!" I dropped it right there, but in case you're wondering....I only got possession of paraphrenalia. ^_~
