I *just* asked Sidi Salman Younas, who answers fatwas on Sunni Path.com (and who is a Hanafi himself), the following question:
Me: Is it true that marijuana is halal in hanafi madhab so long as you dont get intoxicated?

Sidi Salman Younas said: "There is no doubt that marijuana is haram in the hanafi school."
I suspect that the internet poster on that site was confused because he read that only Three of the Four Imams (Shafi'i, Malik, and Ahmad) stated that Hadd punishment should be enforced, whereas Imam Abu Haneefa (ra) differed on this. These three Imams said that whoever drinks anything that intoxicates--even in small NON-intoxicating amounts--is to be punished with the Hadd of 80 lashes.

However, what that internet poster did not state was that Imam Abu Haneefa (ra) demanded that tazeer punishment be enforced on such a person, reserving the hadd punishment only for alcoholic drink.

In Fatawa ‘Al-Khulasa lil-Hanafiyyah’, it is stated:
If an intoxicating amount has been taken then according to Imam Muhammad hadd will be necessary and according to Imam Abu Hanifah and Imam Abu Yusuf he will be reprimanded severely [tazeer], but the hadd will not be imposed.
It should be known that there are THREE founders of the Hanafi madhab, not just Imam Abu Haneefa. The other two were Imam Muhammad and Imam Abu Yusuf. So one of the three Imams stated hadd should be meted out. And two of them stated that tazeer should be meted.

Aryan, I would be more than happy to enforce the tazeer punishment on you. God knows that you need it.

And EVEN if some scholar made an error and allowed marijuana, then you would be ZINDEEQ if you took the errors of the scholars and collected all of them in order to take lenient positions...you would be ZINDEEQ even according to the scholar who took the shadh opinion you adopted!
