Of course, though drugs is a good example of "authoritarian no matter what you do" as well.

If you choose the authoritarian aspect, it becomes "drugs are banned completely, you mass arrest even little kids taking Communion for underage drinking, and you don't give them treatment, you give them punishment.

If you take the other approach, you decriminalize drugs...but even then, marijuana's legalization shows the result still has "they're legalized, put in specific dispensaries you can get it at instead of all over the place, and they're taxed to smithereens"...which still has the authoritarian view of "you can only get it certain places and you're going to have to pay through the nose to get it." (By contrast, the true libertarian or the anarchist way would be "complete decriminalization, no minimum age for drinking/smoking/doing drugs, you can get opioids over the counter at CVS and get hard drugs in the candy aisle"...which is not a good thing for obvious reasons.)
