First step is to ignore the others posters when they say weed isn't bad. If he were to get pulled over and searched he could go to jail, and I am sure you don't want that to happen. Talk to your dad about this if you don't want to say that you found his, bring up a peer pressure scenario. Say some person was asking you to get high and wants his advice. Maybe hearing himself tell you that it is bad may jar him enough to stop. You can say that you found this container with the weed in it in the closet and you wanted to let him know that it wasn't yours. Ask if he knows where it came from. Maybe just being honest with him will be enough. You can also talk to your mom about this and see if she can help. Granted pot isn't a "hard" drug it is still a drug.Health Question & Answer
Seriously kid, weed is not a big deal. Would you freak out if you found a flask.? Alcohol is thousands of times worse than weed. As long as he's not getting stoned and driving around, and his use of pot doesn't interfere with him being a good father and a productive member of society, then it's a non-issue.
But, you can talk to him about it. Just don't come off as a pain in the as$ who says ridiculous things like weed kills brain cells (not at all true), or that he's a druggie (most likely not true).Health Question & Answer

hahah! wow.
alright, now there are two sides to every story, i know parents shouldnt be using marijuana, what kind of image and standard does that set for their children.? it's absolutely terrible!
but then again, smoking weed is sooo relaxing, and ill probably do it when i have kids, id just try to hide it from them.
but if they came up to me and was honest saying "dad i dont want you doing that stuff, its bad for you and sets a bad example for me"
i would then feel bad enough to quit.Health Question & Answer

take and put it in some brownies along with some exlax then tell hi u made brownies with his weed but forget the exlax partHealth Question & Answer
You have good reason to be concerned and I think it is very important you confront him about this. While hiding this he doesn't have to face his problem. There are quite a few ways you could talk to him about this.. you could just confront him and tell him that you found it and that it really disappoints you that he's acting that way and it worries you. You could also write a letter to him about how you are feeling and place it back with the weed where you found it, then he will know that you found it and will hear your feelings but you will not necessarily have to confront him in person and maybe he'll come to you and talk to you.
If he does get angry, just try to be understanding and not take it personally. One of the first things people do when they are embarrassed or nervous is lash out at others so they don't have to concentrate on how they are feelings. So try to be understanding and just say "i'm sorry you're upset dad but i'm really hurt too"

This is a really awkward situation for you I am sure. If it was easily found in his jacket, he must not be trying THAT hard to keep it hidden.
I don't agree with drug use on principle (the fact that its illegal) but I have never smoked weed so I don't feel comfortable in talking about how bad it is having never experienced it, so I won't address that.
If it makes you uncomfortable, or it worries you, you should address it. I don't know how close you are to your father, but if you are close it should be easy to approach. If you are very close, I would suggest starting the conversation by saying "Dad, I found some weed in your jacket and I was a little surprised" and see what he says. If you are not comfortable enough to that, there are ways to ease into it.
Maybe you could tell him that some of the kids you know at school have started smoking weed and you don't know how you feel about it. Give him the opportunity to come clean to you, or maybe just give you an honest opinion. Depending on how the conversation goes you could follow up by asking questions like "Have you ever smoked weed.?" and see how it goes.
