I was charged (yesterday) with drug paraphernalia and drug abuse. This is my first (and last!!) offense. The drug in question was marijuana, and this occured in the state of Ohio. Are these felonies or misdemeanors? What sort of punishment would one most likely receive, and should I seek legal counsel?

If this is your 1st arrest for drug or controlled substanced you will be offered a drug diversion class-take it when offered. After you pass the class-which hopefully you do, the misdomeanor-I believe in your case will be dropped. You will not have a criminal record. You can call the court to find out what your being charged with and if it is a mistomeanor or felony-regardless take the drug division class-this is your way out on 1st time arrest
