if your talking about a college essay for the application then ....
if you got caught with weed and it ended up on your record, then yes, writing about that would be a positive thing if you say how you've grown, changed, or learned something from it. (aka explain yourself and what happened)
but if you were just caught by a parent or something of that sort, i dont think it'd be appropriate to write about it unless there was a real good point to telling that story.

What most students don't tend to realize is that college is full of adults. Professors realize this, and are more lenient on controversial topics than high school teachers are. I used the word "fucking" in an essay once because it was a direct quote from the source I was using, and I didn't feel right to censor it. My professor had me read the paper aloud and it insisted that I did not censor it, telling me that using the word really brought the point home.
Point being, if you can use this subject and create a mature paper, I highly doubt you will be docked points for your choice of subject.

It depends on the teacher you're writing your essay for. If they're a SUPER strict teacher, then I'd go with a no.
If they're kinda laid back and easy going and you end up writing it, don't brag. Write it from the point of view like as if you learned something from it or how it changed you. I don't know what your paper's about, but yeah, those are probably the only 2 things you could really talk about and use it as a sort of appropriate topic.

although, it depends what point you're trying to make....I don't think you should mention it!

It depends what the essay is supposed to be for. I don't think it would be if you explained what you've done to correct the situation. if you're bragging about it and still doing it, your essay will prolly not end up with a good grade. But if you wrote about what you learned from it, i dont see what the problem is.
