I would suggest you do your best to move out. Even if it means working at McDonalds for income and getting an efficiency apt, its a start. Everyone has to start somewhere.
I think you need to tell your Dad. Just give him the information and leave it at that. It's up to him how he deals with this. His wife is spending money that he's earned on something that's illegal to buy in this country. It's up to him if he wants to allow it to continue. Besides, what if she gets caught picking up drugs somewhere or worst case scenerio - the cops get a tip from someone else and your house gets searched. Can you imagine the upset. Especially if Dad finds out you and your sister knew about it?
I really think that her miserliness is detrimental to your emotional health. My parents didn't give me much but they at least met my needs until I was 18. Then I started to help out with groceries and the like and they still helped me out. Family are usually the ones you hope will be there for you when the chips are down. If she's not there for you ever then why would you stick around? Get out. You can. Things are never as hard as they may seem.
