Not to my knowledge, in general Muslim tend to be more accepting of the use of drugs than Christians are.

A couple months ago I was with my dad and several of his friends, all of whom are observant Muslims, when the topic of marijuana legalization came up and all of them were laughing about how they were familiar with ganja from their youth in Bangladesh. I don't know if any of them actually used it and they wouldn't tell me if they did, but it would be inconceivable for them to talk about alcohol in the same way.

I don't use marijuana or any similar substances (aside from the stimulants I'm prescribed) on the grounds that it's better to be safe than sorry, but it would be very difficult to make the case that any non-alcohol substances are actively prohibited. As an example, tobacco consumption was so prevalent and so strongly associated with Muslims in the Punjab in the eighteenth century that Sikhs are prohibited from consuming tobacco to distinguish themselves.

Yes, it describes my experience pretty well, through as an outsider looking in. Interesting my experience are also that young Muslim tend to be less likely to consumer these products and it's the most and least religious who are less likely to use non-alcohol substance, the least religious following the pattern among non-Muslims of the same age and the most religious avoiding for puritanist reasons, much as we see among fundamentalist Christians.
