I did not absolutely know my father growing up.
It wasn’t until I turned eighteen, and sought him out myself, that we started to link.
It turned out that he has a pretty cool guy even if he did essentially abandon me and my mom right after I was born. That’s in the past now. Anyhow, we were hanging out and playing some video games when he got a knock on the door. He casually said “ that’s just my weed guy” before he opened the door. I had all kinds of thoughts in my head about the kinds of people who supply weed. So I was surprised to see a normal looking dude carrying a box, my dad signed for the box and then took it inside Where he opened it up. That’s when I found out that he uses a legal recreational weed delivery service. So this isn’t some back alley deal. It’s as legal and legit as buying your weed from one of those legal weed stores. I laughed at myself a bit when I found this out. When I told my dad what I had been thinking, he disclosed that he has used less reputable weed companies in the past, before everything became legalized in CA. I do not doubt it. The more I hang out with my father, the more I see why my mom did not want me having anything to do with him growing up. I was impressionable and I absolutely could have been a led astray by an idiot that I looked up to. But now that I am an adult, I suppose it’s kind of funny. I do not want to be like my dad, but I am glad I’m finally getting to know him.
