Today, my dad yelled at me for using legal marijuana to help treat my potentially terminal cancer, which is kind of hypocritical for the man who spent significant portions of my childhood in jail for selling cocaine to rich high school kids. FML
Collection
Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my dad sat me down and angrily accused me of doing drugs, all because he's noticed I've recently become a lot more energetic and emotional than usual. The truth is, I'd been smoking weed daily for 3 years and just decided to never smoke it again 2 weeks ago. FML
Today, my dad heard that the guy who bullied me at school died recently of a drug overdose. For some reason, he thinks we were actually best friends, and thinks I'm doing drugs too. I'm now not allowed out of the house except to go to school. He won't listen to a word I say. FML
Today, my mom called me screaming and cussing because she found pot in my room. I come home and my dad says, "I hid some pot in your room and I'm not letting you go to that concert if you rat me out." My dad is apparently a blackmailing 52-year-old stoner. FML
Today, my dad found out I recently tried weed. He called me a useless waste of air and grounded me for the rest of the year. Then he went outside and smoked his third cigarette of the morning. FML
Today, I found out my dad stole money from me when he was arrested for buying Oxycodone from an undercover cop. FML
Today, my dad caught me vaping. From the volume of his yelling, you’d think he caught me sniffing cocaine out of a prostitute's ass crack. FML
Today, my dad called me a "deadbeat loser" after I came back from my first day of voluntary rehab for my meth problem. He's never had a job in his life and sits on the sofa all day, smoking weed and playing video games, all on my mom's salary. FML
Today, I found out that my father faked his whole "mid-life crisis", just so he could gain my trust and get me to admit that I smoke weed, and to tell him who I buy it from. Hello year-long grounding. FML
Today, my dad hit his mid-life crisis. When I came home and said hi, he told me to shut up, then went to the living room. He then lit up a cigarette and started muttering about having to put up with me, then went into a coughing fit, because he's never smoked before in his life. FML
Today, my father contacted me for the first time in close to 2 months. The first thing he did was ask if I wanted to buy some weed. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

He’s probably projecting now that he’s (presumably) gotten his life together and now has the mindset of “All drugs are bad and will **** your life up!” He may be terrified of his kid going down the same path as him. Maybe calmly let him know it’s legal and for medical purposes, you don’t intend to abuse it or do any other drugs, and you won’t get in trouble for it. If he’s still unreasonable, just agree to disagree and avoid doing it around him. Sorry you had a largely absent father in your childhood, and so sorry that you’re going through potentially terminal cancer. That’s pretty ******* heavy to deal with. Stay positive, continue with your treatments, and hopefully you’ll have an amazing outcome and beat this ❤️

Stay strong and focus on the positive, you have my support. I think Dad should be more worried about your medical condition and it's outcome than what you are doing to seek relief (from the symptoms or the side effects of chemo and radiation, which I hear can be rough).

I hope you meant "treat" as in pain reliever/anxiety reducer, and not actually attempting to cure cancer solely through canibus usage
