After 16 or so he's going to do it regardless if anyone approves or not. Pot is actually less harmful than alcohol. How old is he?

If he is still under 18, speak to the police about what needs to be done. If not, YOU could be charged with having drugs. If he is OVER 18, show him where the door is.

Instead, talk to him about drug laws, and what happens if someone with legal authority finds out. For example, drug charges can prevent him from getting federal financial aid for college (which I think is stupid, but that's besides the point). If he's getting the pot money by working, tell him that many workplaces give drug tests. In fact, some places are legally obliged to do so. If he's getting the pot money as an allowance, just stop giving it to him. If you're giving him lunch money in cash, don't. I know some kids who hoard the money instead of buying lunch.

But give this some thought: he's embarrassed, ashamed. He's not going to tell you that, but he is. No one wants to get caught. Taking away his cell phone is just going to make him less likely to open up. Us teenagers love our phones as you've probably seen. Sit him down. Tell him you know he doesn't want to talk about it, and you don't either. Tell him you're not disappointed in him as person and you're not angry. Say that you're hurt with the decision he made - he must have known you guys wouldn't want that for him. Tell him you made stupid decisions when you were a teenager (maybe even tell him a story of when you did.) Tell him you regret it. Say if he wants to smoke pot, what you do clearly doesn't have an impact. But let him know that it's unsafe and he could get in worse trouble if someone else caught him. Just say that you love him and you're trying to look out for him. I’m 16, so I know you won’t base your decision totally on what I say. But give this some thought: he’s embarrassed, ashamed.
