My dad has been taking psilocybin for 3 months and has been hiding it from me because he thinks I'll be mad???

So this is a bit of an unusual situation. I'm a 37 yo male. I have been an avid drug user for most of my life, and have used psychedelics including shrooms extensively. My sister is an RN and my brother is an MD. I guess I'm the "black sheep" of the family, because I don't have a medical or professional degree.<br><br>I've always been open with my family about my drug use. It's never been a problem, and I've always had a good relationship with them. But, they have never been the most supportive. I've hear my fair share of "That stuff will ruin your life" and "You're destroying your brain".<br><br>So, I met my dad for lunch a few weeks ago and we had a really candid discussion. I found out that he has been microdosing psilocybin for 3 months. He's taking a 0.5g dose 2x a week, and has been doing so for a few months. He said that it has helped him with his depression and anxiety. He said that he's actually started to feel some of the emotions he was previously numbing with booze. He told me that he's going to keep doing it.<br><br>He was very open about it, but also very nervous. I was shocked, but I didn't get angry. I told him that it was great and that I was happy he could find a way to manage his issues. We had a very good discussion.<br><br>But, the reason he told me all of this was because he felt bad. He said that he has been dishonest with his family and hiding his drug use from them. He felt bad about that. I told him not to feel bad, that he's an adult and can do what he wants. I said that it's none of their business.<br><br>So, I'm just a bit confused. Is this a case of "the pot calling the kettle black"? I mean, I always thought my dad was the pot calling the kettle black, but I'm not sure anymore. I'm not mad at him. I'm happy for him.<br><br>But, I'm still confused.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>EDIT: first, I want to say thank you to everyone who took the time to comment and share their thoughts. I really appreciate it. I have been reading all the comments. Sorry if I didn't respond to yours. There are a lot of comments and I just can't respond to them all.<br><br>I also want to say that I understand some people are upset about the title. I understand what you mean. I didn't mean to imply that I've been judged by my family. I honestly didn't think about how the title would be perceived that way. I was just trying to write something catchy. I wasn't trying to be misleading. Sorry.<br><br>I see a lot of people saying that I should be mad. I'm not going to do that. I'm not going to create an unnecessary conflict with my family. I don't want to do that. There's no need for me to get angry or upset.<br><br>Some people are asking, "Why is this a problem?" It's not a problem for me. It's just something I've never seen before. I think that's why I posted this, to be honest. I've just never hear of an old person doing drugs before. I've never heard anyone hiding their drug use from their family. It's just something I've never seen before.<br><br>Some people are asking me to ask my dad why he's hiding it. I don't want to do that. I'm not going to push him to tell me something he doesn't want to tell me. I don't want to do that.<br><br>Some people are saying that he's ashamed of his drug use. That's probably true. But, I'm not going to push him on that. I don't want to do that.<br><br>I really appreciate everyone's feedback. I understand what you're all saying. I'll probably never ask my dad why he's hiding it, and I'll probably never find out. And, that's okay.
