I'm sure he enjoys living in a secure environment, with free food on the table and financal support when necessary more than he does marijuana. It's stupid to question his enjoyment of it if he's wanting to find a balance between living at home and smoking marijuana.

Dude, I reckon you lay low for a while, and just smoke when you are garenteed to not get caught. It's stupid to risk it buddy. It is just a drug after all, and it'll still be around in two years time! Anyway, whatever you decision, good luck!

a contract?? that's a real bummer man.. but some ppl here are right, its YOUR dad, he can kick u out if he wants, makes u pay rent and all that.. I guess if u want to smoke, just dont do it at home, dont come home high, dont have any weed on you when ur home and just act cool.. until he starts drug testing, then use one of those wonderful methond of "decieving" the test on the boards. In some countries the age of 16 is the age of legal adulthood.. im not sure where but i know theres countries like that... tell ur dad that then mention that if u lived in (a country where 16 is adult) you would be an adult now..

I don't normally post over this side, but I can't believe how much peer pressure you're getting to become a liar and a cheat, so I'm replying with a Dads point of view.
First things first, how come the girlfriend knew it was MJ? Seems to me your Dad might like a toke once in a while.
Second, it's not a nasty bust. That would entail him calling the cops and having you hauled off to the station for "due process."
The contract thing is because, deep down, he's knows you're a good guy, and that you will have trouble breaking that contract without a huge feeling of guilt. Pretty cool to have a Dad that respects you that much.
This still leaves you with the basic problem. Once you understand he's worried about you maybe going off the rails, all you have to do is convince him you're well equipped to stay on track (with his advice ) and keep pressuring him in the nicest way possible.
Keep asking questions about his teenage years, and what if your grades are good, is once a month OK. etc.
You know him well enough to re-negotiate the contract.
How you handle this sets the standard for your life as an adult.

The contract is just a way of promising him you won't do it. Does he know the "real" story on MJ? Or does he only know the "media" story on it? Maybe try educating him. Ask him what he feels more comfortable with, Drinking with some buddies or smoking cigs with all those nasty chemicals, or sweet MJ.

If you present him with a good argument for each one, what each one does to your body, why this is regarded as "bad" versus that, all the media "lies", etc

Just present everything in an adult manner, and he'll listen.

Personally I'd rather my son smoke MJ than drink booze. Booze can lead to drunk driving, violence, fuzzy mouth in the morning, DEATH, etc.

grownfun i completly agree with you, the only people not agreeing are most likely under the age of 18. The contract was obviously not used as any legal matter, it was most likely his fathers way of making as clear as possible that he didnt want his son to smoke. Pot is illegal so there are no restrictions, but what do you tihnk they will be once it is legal?? It will surely be at least 18, it is a mind altering substance, with effects less severe than alcohol. There should be some restriction. First try talking to him about it, parents are usually more understanding than kids think. Make sure he understands that you are fully aware of the effects of pot, and that you rationally decided to use it. Mystical i find it hard to believe that you think it is absurd for him to listen to his father, but it is fine to lie to his father and go behind his back. Talk to him about it, and things will work out.

I'm not trying to turn the kid into a liar or a cheat... I'm 21, and I simply don't see what the big deal is if he contiunues smoking pot without his dad's consent... however I guess you should try to argue your point like the other people said, and if that doesn't work, then you gotta make a choice...

that choice being a) realize it's your body and marijuana isn't a bad thing anyway, and smoke without his consent(just dont let him find out) OR b) don't smoke.

up to you ...

While you surely don't agree with your father about this, you really should respect what he said. I'm not gonna go on about the whole "your dad supports you blah, blah, blah" arguement, supporting your child doesn't qualify you for father of the year, it only keeps you out of trouble with the law for neglect. The reason you should respect what he said is completely out of self interest, he can take your car keys, he can keep your butt at home every weekend, he can withhold tuition, and he can just plain kick you out of the house.

If you don't want to end up on the street you should say 'bye bye' to pot at least until you've moved out.

Its no fun, but its the way things have to be in your situation.

just be respectful about it. dont try and argue with him about why pot isnt bad or whatever. dont smoke at home, just smoke responsibly. he doesnt have to know ur still dopin. just do it when hes not around. dont give him a chance to find your stash. dont let him know your high. dont tell him and things will be ok.

What do you do? Take that paper contract and roll a fat fat joint with it. Then smoke it in front of your dad to piss him off.

P.S. Don't listen to a word I say.
