My friends, Im in tears having to make THE toughest decision of my life

Good to hear you've got a game plan UTD, sounds like the best way to go. My heart goes out to you; I had a pretty severe boil on the small of my back years ago and it was absolute AGONY. I can only cringe while I imagine what life must be like for you on a daily basis. :(

It's a shame your father is so against the one thing you've found that gives you some relief; you'd think a parent would embrace whatever it took to alleviate their offsprings suffering. Good chance it's the sauce talking, so good on ya for trying to discuss this with him before he gets loaded. It should be noted you're using a vape as well, which means you're actually looking out for your health while he's rotting his brain and liver with ethanol. If that hypocrisy escapes him while he's sober, than he really does have a pathological hate for weed and all I can say is good luck with the move out! Not to say I'm voicing support for opting for THC over your home and family, the SCS is the way to go. If it can help Jerry Lewis it can help anyone.


Good luck buddy, let us know what happens...


P.s. Have you looked into ginger at all? Ingesting large quantities of it will make you sweat, clearing out glands in your skin. My step-dad had some success with it for his cystic acne. Also, a slice of it raw applied to the skin acts as a nature, topical anesthetic. Might come in handy, figured I'd share.

You are making a good decision.
If you want to talk to him about his alcoholism, and the hypocrisy you are feeling coming from him, be gentle- Remember to talk to your father in terms that he isn't threatened by, using "I feel like....." rather than "you always...." type of statements.
Your relationship is at stake here. If you can have an adult conversation, it bodes well for your relationship with him as an adult.
Moving out is certainly something you will be doing soon anyway, since you're getting to that age... but succeeding at getting along with your dad is an admirable goal in the meantime.
I wish you all the best for the surgery being a success.
When it comes time to start smoking again, there ARE some strain lines that carry anti-inflammatory properties. I believe that the foundation stock for Subcool's stuff is in that category.

Not for all, and it's quite different when you're actually in that position.

tell ur dad u'll quit, then get the surgery and go back to smoking discreetly, but this time do not smoke at your fathers house..i wish you luck with what ever your planning to do..if worst coems to worst call childs services

That's quite the stipulation, UTD. Don't you hate when parents give you choices like that?! It's either their way or the highway, right? But it's like birdgirl said, you don't want to sacrifice your provisionals until you have a steady foot on your own turf. Of course, you'll flock the nest sooner or later, and you should keep that forefront in your mind. In the meantime, though you should honor your father's words. All parents have their faults and the sooner you realize it the sooner it'll effect you less, because that's just the way they are. Everything will be fine for you, UTD. You have your whole life ahead of you to do with it what you please in regards to smoking cannabis. Just remember you brought you in this world, you little ingrate! lol j/k but something like that...

You're in a really bad situation, so there's no easy answer. What I would do is agree to the surgery. And until after you recover fully, only smoke when he is passed out or asleep. After that, I would move out if I were you, because stress probably is not good for the condition, and it seems like that is all he is doing. You'll be in my prayers, man.

Keep your head up! Sounds like you're smart enough to get out of these woods, till then dont forget to smile and remember to take care of #1:thumbsup:

thanks for more great advice, as for ginger, ive never tried that but sweat and stress are the two things that make my condition worse, as my sweat glands malfunction therefore more sweating=more infection. I can't express to yall hom much yall mean to me....this world world be a better place if there were more people like yall in this confused, shamefull world we live in:cool:

On a slight side note, I'm sure your doctor has tried oral and topical antibiotics?
