Legal Question in Criminal Law in Virginia

First off, I want to state that I am a minor. Last night I was at a local park, where a policeman scoped out my vehicle and said that he smelled marijuana. When I came back to the car, I did not have my keys. He threatened that he had the right to break into my car without my consent and that he is able to damage my car if I did not find the keys. I had to call someone to go find my spare keys fearing that my car would be damaged and that I had no choice. He forced me too. He found marijuana in my car after looking through it. Then he wanted to use me to find out where the actual dealer is but told me he could not use my as I am a minor. But what I could do is give him information and if that information helps, my charge could be dismissed or lessened. I asked him if it was for sure. He kept dodging my questions and saying that he's not making any deals or guarantees. He asked me to talk to the person I got it from and go for another purchase to find out the address or vehicle of the dealers. He told me helping would be beneficial to me but I honestly don't know much so I will have to do work. Would getting him information save me at all or is he just baiting me? I would also like help on the possession charge situation.
