obviously you do not agree with his smoking marijuana in your home and obviously he doesn't respect you or your home, so tell me why this grown man is allowed to live in your home?
change the locks and bid him good luck in his future life

Yes and no. Anytime illegal activity occurs in a home, the home owner has some potential liability. If you can prove that you did not know about the drugs, you would have a viable defense. However, that does not protect you from the cost of a search.
For example, in New York there was a grand mother who had a grand child living with her. The grand child was a suspect in a homicide case. The cops issued a search warrant on the grand mothers house, did extensive damage, and then left. Although the grand mother has no criminal liability for her grand sons acts, she was left with $15,000 of damage that she had to pay for on her own. This is a risk you run anytime illegal activity is occurring in your home.

No,if you call for the cops to arrest him,it is in possession of someone in the eyes of the law,if it's in his room it's his,if he has stashed it somewhere else in the home,it's the home owners.
Your fear is what?That someone might turn him in or the idea that your home is going to be raided?

I believe some states consider you an accomplice, if you know of illegal activity taking place and do nothing about it. I don't know about other states, but the last I knew it's legal to smoke it in my state. You just can't cultivate, possess, buy or distribute. Go figure: to smoke it, at some time you have to either buy, grow or possess it.

That depends on the laws and practices in your state. Potentially, yes. The Code of Criminal Procedure also allows police to seize any property used or “intended to be used” in the commission of a drug felony. That means they can take your car, your home, or any other belonging where you are accused of carrying or hiding drugs. The asset forfeiture law is a civil action, not criminal, and you don’t have to be convicted for the state to try to take your property.
