Your challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to create circumstances in which "rule by/through drugs" is the modus operandi of at least one government. I don't mean something like Mexico where you have a bunch of powerful drug cartels, nor do I mean that the government is essentially one giant drug cartel -although they certainly can be that as well if you want - but rather a situation where a country uses drugs on its population to keep them under control.

If you can somehow not make this horribly dystopian then you win all the bonus points.
