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.
Tazeer sounds good enough fpr me.

Opium and cannabis were considered makruh in Hanafi societies. Which is why its use was so widespread in the two major ones, the Mughals and Ottomans. Later Hanafi scholars declared it haram, but that's just being a killjoy. Sort of like how scholars now declare slavery and concubines to be haram.
