Hmm... you've either used the wrong word here or you're very narrow-minded.
By using the word extremist you're suggesting that Stu's views are radical and a political ideology, and therefore, by the very sense of the word - he is trying to impede his views on the rest of us. He's not, it's simply his opinion and he stated that a number of times.
Furthermore, by the use of extremist you're suggesting that
your idea of what is right and wrong are the correct views, and every other variation is wrong. Just because Stu's views deviate from yours - does not make them radical or extremist.
Though you probably just used that word loosely and meant something else.
But another point connected with Stu's post - Alcohol is only legal because of the revenue it brings the Government. Many of you will complain about drugs such as Marijuana and Mushrooms but frequent bars and drink. Once upon a time ago alcohol was illegalised because of the health implications and higher crime rate because of it - at this time, Cannabis was legal. It was only then legalised because the Government lost too much money because of taxes from Alcohol sales.
Also, I shall leave you with this:
.
I'm not saying everyone should smoke cannabis, you have to consider the law - but don't follow in dolt-ish drones with "it's dangerous".
(Sorry for a big long post and semi-hijacking your views Stu!).
