Some little "leftist" groups are leggit crazy. And you know the "LGBT is just burgeois decadency" shit is still around in some "leftists" if you dig in them.
Drugs are only bad if you overdo them. Every culture ever has some intoxicant or drug. It's kinda built-in to us as a species that we like that shit. And it's not just us. Cats like catnip. Bears love eating fermented berries and so on and so on.
That said a lot of the actual problems with drugs stem from capitalism. Needing to make money from drugs led to infinitely better drugs which are infinitely more addictive. It also leads to dealers cutting their product to sell more of it. It also puts people in prison because not the right people are making the money off of the drugs so they are bad now.
Snapshot of an ANSWER protest in NY speakers. 1. First speaker is PSL cuz answer
2. Old trot group whose big distinguishing line is their support of NAMBLA and pedophile rights
3. Next up D6 mvmt praising Mugabe
4. Struggle la luche they're cool then
5. Iranian dsa guy he's cool wish I remembered his name he's a great speaker
6. Then rapper does a song or 2
6. Throw in some random liberals
7. RCP praising Avakian the first person to read Mao and Stalin and make the synthesis into a weird abusive cult
8. Throw in a handful of international Internationalist split of the 17th international groups and u got u a protest
CPGB-ML are wild for this. Not only do they believe that LGBT+ activism is a weapon by the ruling classes to divide the left and trans people don't actually exist, they also claim that there isn't racism in Britain.

I've seen a "recreational drugs like weed are bourgeois decadence" twitter thread yesterday.
This isn't a misrepresentation of their views, they were literally spewing DARE tier rhetoric.
So yeah overall OP's fears aren't entirely unfounded tbh.

Everything is bad if you do it too much.
Reactionary views about drugs are often closely tied to reactionary views about other things like LGBTQ rights.

Is there somewhere comprehensive I can get into the Avakian lore?
Sometimes left unity really seems impossible, but probably just "louder/annoyer screamer bias" thing
Bruh I didn't need to know Nambla shit existed whatever it really is google first result was too much.
