non-khamr alcohol is permissable as long as it is not used in vain and not used in amounts that intoxicate right?

so shouldnt the ruling for marijuana be the same?

The fatwa gives two conditions. If non-khamr alcohol is used as an intoxicant or used in vain (e.g. for entertainment), then it is also haraam. Marijuana is mostly used for entertainment and it alters one's mind. You don't add marijuana to food as a crucial ingredient but non-khamr alcohol is used a lot in the food industry without being intended as an intoxicant but for other purposes (e.g. as a carrier or for dilution).

Marijuana, on the other hand, is used exclusively to alter one's mind.
