Definitely talk to your doctor. See what he says. For some HS patients, as you know, smoking can be a further irritant/aggravation.

I agree that, when given the choice between the SCS and the cannabis, the logical choice is the SCS, especially with the pain you're having. Your dad is likely worried, as any parent naturally is when a kid is doing something that could get him in trouble with the law. Beneficial as cannabis is for you, it's still risky because it's illegal. I suspect your dad's also worried because he fears you may be on a similar path to the one he traveled on his way to becoming an alcohol addict.

This is the bad thing about living with your parents. Awful as it is, you still pretty well have to abide by their rules when they're footing the bills.

Frankly, as awful as the choice is, it seems pretty clear that for your sanity and your pain relief, you need to choose that SCS surgery. Cannabis isn't going to be gone from your life permanently. And perhaps you can still smoke discreeetly in other places. But don't sacrifice your pain relief or your living circumstances for weed.

Real sorry you're having to face this, UTD Smoker. Sorry your dad is not reasonable. So many people aren't when it comes to cannabis. Let us know how things turn out.
