US - worse case - prison term

The laws vary by state as to how much time you could get for possesion, generally up to 1 year jail in some and as little as a fine in others. The paraphernalia normally is associated with the sale and distribution and if they have supporting evidence to that effect you could be looking at a felony (prison ) depending on what state you are in.

Example: Possesion

Texas - jail up to 180 days $ 2000 fine
Pennsylvania - jail up to 1 year - $ 500 fine

It is a felony in both for disribution/sales conviction.
 
Why did you let them search your car (or why were you driving high/smoking pot in your car)?

What's the worst case scenario? Depends on the state and your age, the volume of marijuana really doesn't matter because the state will crucify you thanks to the scale. You likely will lose the car through forfeiture and may be sent to jail depending on your past history.

Is the scale going to interfere with the case? Nope, it's going to make it.
