I'd guess he converted to Islam in prison, and the drug history is from earlier. Wikipedia states that 80% of prison conversions are to Islam, and that 1 out of 5 prisoners in the US are now Muslims due to aggressive conversion efforts.

Alcohol is haram, by being specifically forbidden in the Quran.

Hashish, on the other hand, has a long history in Muslim countries, although many current clerics prohibit it.
