If the cops are called to my college dorm room on suspition of marijuana,

1) Do I have to open the door when knocked on?

2) When the cops ask to open my small safe(containing marijuana), am i required to open it?

Thanks!

1) Do I have to open the door when knocked on?
No. But, there might be consequences by either the police or by the university later on depending on the law in your un-named state and the rules you agreed to when you moved in to the dorms.

Bottom line, don't do drugs when you livbe in someone else's house.

2) When the cops ask to open my small safe(containing marijuana), am i required to open it?
Generally, no. But, you might face consequences for the refusal.

My recommendation? Go rent a house.
