Conservatives aren't necessarily against drugs. In areas like Colorado many of the Conservatives are "Libertarians". Libertarians are oppossed to government interference in general. A true Libertarian supports legalizing all drugs.
As for the legalization, this is nothing but a positive in my mind. It's pretty clear the "War on Drugs" is a massive failure and has criminilized entire populations.
The USA needs to follow a model like Portugal. Legalize use and small possession of all drugs. Divert the money you were spending on punishing these offences towards rehabilitation and health care. Cracking down on major trafickes makes sense. In the case of Marijuana, just eliminate their market by supplying state grown Marijuana.
