since it seems to be bothering you i would say to talk with your dad about it. i would suggest you put it in the form of a question about advice. something along the lines of " one of my friends dads is smoking pot and he/she really doesn't like it what should i do?" i hope this helps

Depends do you want to smoke with him,or just wanting an honest relationship about the pot smoking.He probably decided that was better then narcotics,and he made a choice,to medicate with weed.What's the difference really.Tell him and maybe it's for an health
issue.Nerves,glaucoma,something
else like that,it helps stomach problems,and pain.

well does your dad have any chronic pain??? Pardon the pun, but if he does then he probably uses it for medicinal use. My dad did for years until the Docs prescribed him something worth a damn. If he does have pain like that then it doesn't matter what you ask or say to him, it isn't right to ask him to give up his only relief from pain. Now on the flipside, if he does it for shits and giggles, then ask him, tell him, just don't threaten to tell cops. If he says don't worry about it, or never mind, then do just that. He's a grown man, you can't make him choose what to do. He has to make that decision on his own. But you would be right to let him know that it bothers you. It'll be fine man, just cause its illegal doesn't make it a bad thing.

You need to tell someone, because he can't take care of you (or himself) properly if he's high. And if his addiction gets worse, he could make mistakes that could really hurt you or someone else. Tell any adult family member that you trust, or tell your teacher. DON'T just wait and hope it will go away, because it won't - the problem will only get worse.

Your dad should be setting a good example for his kids. I wonder what he would do if you said, "Dad, would it be okay if I smoked pot with you sometime?"

I would tell him that you know, and that when he smokes or is high that it hurts you... (just don't join him in getting high)

Just talk to him. If he's a good dad he will be understanding of your worrying.

I would approach him calmly, and just say that you are concerned for his health, or that he may be caught & arrested.
It MIGHT be the trigger he needs to stop.....
but it might not.
At least he will be aware that you CARE!

it all depends , if you are concerned about it tell him of your concerns, other wise just let him you know he smokes up and you are cool with it.
