You know what? I'm with LIP and Skink. Be proud. You're smart and you give weed smokers/advocates and progressive thinkers a good name. Maybe if it does come back to haunt you, you can help change your family's perceptions and attitudes about the things you believe in. I've now got both my parents persuaded that weed's a recreationally harmless and medically beneficial substance, and I'm moving onto my conservative friends now. My parents were easy. They're both college profesors, so they're smarter and more open-minded than 99% of people out there. But they're also older and have had longer to hear all the propoganda. Changing those attitudes can be done, and it requires intelligence and tenacity, both of which you have a full complement of.
