Default Is marijuana haram?

There was a thread similar to this closed back in 2006....

I'm not talking about smoking it
I've been pondering about this for some time now
Because the cannabis plant can also be used to make paper, fuel and clothes
some other uses include farming and medicine

my question is:
Is the use of the Cannabis plant itself haram
for the purposes I mentioned above?

No, why would it be haram to use the plant itself? It's only haram to smoke it since it is an intoxicant and takes you out of your state of mind (same reason as alcohol). But using the plant itself for things such as making paper, fuel, etc is not haram. In Islamic Law, there is an axiom which states: الأصل في الأشياء إباحة which means that the ruling on all matters (outside of worship) is permissibility unless there is a nass or clear text from the Qur'an/sunnah or the consensus of the scholars which makes it haram.

well based on my own logic (and logic alone is no grounds for a ruling ) it should be fine right? I mean we use alcohol for other purposes such as rubbing alcohol, killing bacteria (think Purell), and a bunch of other stuff.
