It is a yes and no answer. If your dad smokes weed but keeps it in his room and you have nothing in your possession linking it to you then no, you won't be arrested. If he keeps it in your front pocket then Yes, you will.
If I enter your house see 2 guys watching TV with a bag of weed on a table between them I have the right to detain and question both of you. You may both be arrested but the non user may have the charges dropped later. By the way, you do not need to be a user to be arrested for the charge.
If it is being sold or distributed out of a house you reside in then yes you can still be arrested as a non user. If I enter during a party and there is 20 people around a big bong but you are in your room with the door closed reading a book, then no you won't go to jail. I am going to talk to you and you would not be free to leave until the investigation was over but more than likely with no other factors you'd be okay. |

Yes you could be. There would be concealing evidence. Or maybe hindering a police investigation. If it was a large quantity you could be arrested for possession with intent to distribute. None of these require you to be using. |

Yes, case solved. |

Most probably, YES, because you have knowledge of someone that is breaking the law ie. illegal substance abuse, growing, dealing etc. That makes you an accessory after the fact. |

Yes.
possession of contraband narcotics is as much, if not greater an offence as using it |
|

yeah. you could be later released depending on how strong your case is, but at the moment, you will most def. be arrested. |

Yes because we live in fear from terrorist(cops is what some people call them) |

If you are aware a criminal act is taking place in the residence in which you live, and you do nothing tangible to stop that criminal activity, in the eyes of the law you are abetting the criminal act and conspiring to comit it. So, yes! |

No, I have a right not to let police into my house if they don't have a warrant, and they don't have a warrant because I'm a law-abiding citizen.
However, if I'm a dumbass and do something stupid that would let the police obtain a warrant -- well, it doesn't matter if I have weed on the table. I'm getting arrested anyway. |

Yes, you could be arrested for common possession of a controlled substance....If you failed to report it you may also be charged with Hindering Prosecution....Depending on the quantity found it could be a felony. I would suggest you move. |

dude0795 is about the only correct answer I've seen so far.
Almost everyone else is assuming WAY too much or just plain don't know what they are talking about.
Your question is extremely broad and lacks a lot of the information that would allow people to offer better answers. I don't know what the dispute in class was, but you'd need to define it better if you're going to get it settled. |

Yes, especially if you are the owner of the house. You are responsible for what goes on, and what enters your house. |

I think you can be, the person who owns the house could also
loose his house under the laws, if they impose it that is............. |

The answer is going to very depending on what state you live in. In Ohio, you are more than likely going to get charged. There are some exceptions to the rules though. If you are the parent and your child is charged or suspected of selling and a warrant is issued to search his room, and the only place the drugs are found is in there room you most likely will not get charged. If you are a roommate or a live in boyfriend/girlfriend and there is a bust. Chances are you will be charged. If you know the criminal activity is going on then that makes you just as guilty as the person committing the crime. |

An absolute YES. The police can, and likely will, arrest not only anyone who lives at the house, but anyone present at the time they make and arrest and leave it up to the D.A. as to who they want to charge with what based on the evidence and intelligence gather from detectives. For parties that they don't feel are a culpable as the part(ies) that may be selling or tests positive for use of the drug, the police/DA will encourge them to testify against their friends/family in exchange for a reduced or dismissed charge(s). |

You could be arrested for loitering where drugs are stored. If the police thought it was yours they could arrest you for possession or something more serious depending on the quantity.
To the guy who says taking a puff from your buddy's joint isn't illegal. Passing a joint back and forth is distribution and you could get arrested for it. You would probably only get a misdemeanor possession charge but they could charge you with a felony for distributing. |

Sure is a pretty plant - no? Back in the'60s I lived in Kansas and my neighbors worked for the National Health Service... anyway they told me that that pretty plant in my front yard was marijuana. After much soulsearching, I had to kill it. ..... Felt like murder. |

if the house is in your name- either you own the house or it is rented to you, then yes. |

Well, I don´t know in your country but in here (Spain), you can have Mariguana plant at home, while they have not fertilized. |

Yes. IF your house got raided and they found drugs in it everyone in the house would be arrested. When it came out that the drugs were not yours you would be released. The same with having drugs in your car. |

you wont actually be arrested. You will have a raid, where they take all of it. you may or may not get a court hearing date. and depending on how much the concequence can be jail time, warning or good behabiour bond. |

It depends on whether you can prove it's not yours or not.
Drug possession is illegal
(some drug consumption is NOT, if a friend invites you to take a puff, the police cannot nab you ) |
