Hahaha well, i've often had it out with my family over this issue.. to the point now where i simply won't talk about it with them because every time i do it turns into a fight about it. Not fun. My personal favourite's are the compairing marijuana to pharmasutical drugs like prozak or morephine.
My mother had her gallbladder removed for various reasons and continues to take a medication for it. She once suggested to me that i try the medication she's on for my acid reflux problem.. but they're completely non related! when i objected and optioned not to take the drug that was prescribed to my mother.. i had to explain that i'd rather control my symptoms with a natural substance than take something that not only wasn't originally intended for me, but possibly not even relavent to my problem!

I tell ya.. family can be a real heartache and pain in the ass sometimes..
