Ozzy, you're parents aren't evil, dude - they are just misinformed and closed-minded.
But guess what? It aint their fault.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like one or other of your parents is from a deeply religious background (or indeed, a military one). If that is true, then I'm afraid that you're gonna have a very difficult job to change their opinions - but still doesn't hurt to try ;)
I'm sorry to tell you this, but until you're 18 and living under your own roof, you gotta respect their rules. It's a tough break, man, I know all too well, but it's the way it is.
But here's where you gotta be clever.
Don't be flaring up in their faces and giving them a whole load of shit, because you will be the only one to suffer - think about how you'd look to them - "obviously the drugs have turned him into a raving psycho!" - get it? :)
Instead, stay calm and reasonable.
They only want to protect you, like others have said, and maybe their opinions about providing that protection (ie, against cannabis) are a little misguided, then maybe you should do some research yourself.
Every now and then, you could tell them some of your findings to help them understand better - but not in a "see, it is safe, so I should be allowed to smoke it" kinda way, but rather a "I have been thinking about what you said, and decided to research it further, and this is some of my findings" kinda way...
Or, maybe I'm just old fashioned lol
