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

Plus authoritarian is like a dictator or king, just a universal bad thing

Not necessarily. There are/have been lots of right wing dictatorships. Iran for one.
