More details to this question:
The police were investigating some complaints. I however was unlucky and had just smoked marijuana. I had about a gram or so in my house. They took it along with the paraphernalia. They decided not to arrest me and gave me a number to call and said if I called and worked with them, they would get rid of the charges.

You should retain a lawyer and let him talk to the police. You should never talk to the police without a lawyer present or consent to a search.

Yes they can charge you later. They usually do in drug cases since they send the stuff to a lab to see if it really is an illegal substance and then after they get the results, they charge you. Get a lawyer.

Don't fall for it. It's a set up. Talk to a lawyer before you do something that will incriminate yourself.

Don't talk to the police. They're fishing for more information, either against you or someone they think you know. You may receive a summons in the mail charging you with a possession offense, but it's still in your best interest not to talk to the police.
