Answer
The law will be the same if you drink alcohol or smoke Marijuana, because both intoxicate and make a person lose his intelligence.
The Salaat of 40 days not being ?accepted? means, he will not receive reward for it, but his obligation will be absolved. (al-Targheeb wat Tarheeb vol.3 pg.260)

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
