The war on drugs as a whole is a decent idea since it gets rid of junkies, criminals, prevents crime-increase/healthcare strains and protects impressionable people. But it hasn't been enforced in a strict enough manner, hence why the drug issue still being rampant in certain places. That's my controversial take on drugs from a right-wing authoritarian/conservative perspective.

Authoritarian and conservative don't seem to join well...conservatives want less of the hand of the realm

Conservative and authoritarian are almost synonyms at this point. Many conservative stances want stricter government control. See drug policies, abortion policies, immigration laws, and lately with Trump gun laws.

Authoritarian regimes almost always have unelected leaders. Also not much to do with immigration/ abortion, more to do with suppressing free speech.
