In some states a person can be charged with drug manufacturing for possessing the equipment needed to produce illegal drugs, such as methamphetamine. For example, someone is possession of marijuana seeds, grow lamps and hydroponic gardening equipment can be charged with drug manufacturing even if no actual marijuana plants are growing at the time.
