Does anyone have people that disaprove of their recreational drug taking in their family? And if so, what do you do to handle it? And by disaprove, that family member you see everyday... and everyday they know what you do?

It all depends on what you mean by recreational drug taking. My family wouldn't care about a joint and a bottle of beer, but if I'm shooting up H while a hooker snorts blow off my hairy ass... Yes, I think they'd have a problem with it.
My family dynamic is odd in this regard as we all have dabbled (responsibly and intelligently) and are aware of each other's habits, but never/rarely address the issue aloud.
But yeah, it would suck to have that which is supposed to be your primary support network frown on your life decisions.

My family has never been 'happy' about my dreads, and my obvious marijuana and mushroom use since i don't try to hide it. They have learned to live with it though. I still maintain good grades and am working towards a promising major with many job options, and they can't really give any good reason to stop besides 'drugs are bad'. They are a bit 'old fashioned' and don't see things the way i do, but i don't blame them.
As long as they don't find any drugs, and as long as i stay out of serious trouble, they are content with avoiding the subject. I think they know that they will never fully understand how my mind ticks, but i must be doing something right - as i am a productive, happy person. It's nice this way, i get to avoid a lot of drama (because i wouldn't stop using marijuana for anyone and their efforts would be totally useless).
Besides. I'm a far better and happier person today as a result of drug use. Breaks a lot of mental boundaries.

Now that the subject has been brought up, I don't think I know anyone who disapproves of my drug use. In the rare instance that someone does disapprove, they are converted before the end of the day. 
I find the best way to convince people that drugs are not inherently bad is to lead by example. Show people that you can be successful and responsible. It's amazing the way people change their opinions on drugs just from knowing that a successful person they know is using them and not having any problems with them.
