Although I should mention that there are conservative-libertarians as well. They are against taxation of the individual and therefor on this issue they show more concern for individual rights than they do for the needs of the community. They also are for guns remaining legal, largely because they have a strong sense of American patriotism and the constitution of the USA does guarantee them the right to bear arms. Unfortunately they also have a strong sense of patriotism and that means that they are quite concerned with individuals following the letter of the law, which means that they think drug use should be punishable as a crime simply because it is determined by society to be a crime. Patriotism and strong Statism seem to go hand in hand. Also they will still be against things like homosexuality and drugs and sex in general simply because they still tend to be quite religious.
