Was there a code section on the citation? There should have been a violation number of some kind. THAT will tell you the specific charge you are accused of.

hmm i dont have it on me
what could i possibly be charged for if no pot was found
an officer had found a tin foil pipe filled with tobacco
no burn marks even on the pipe

Apparently they think they can charge you with something. There is obviously something that they saw that they think they can charge you for.

no pot is the thing
i assume im being charged for the pipe
but i thought that would be parafanelia?
but the citation didnt mention the pipe...and it was filled with unsmoked tobacco
so i dont know what i can be charged for

And we don't either. The crystal ball broke about a year ago.

If you're under 18 then the tobacco was illegal.

Simple as that. They did not find the marijuana, but you had some, and you are going to pay for their time. Yes, you are seriously charged for that, one way or another.
