A rational reason for not professing opposition to the war on drugs is that you do not want to lose status. Surely your tests are for identifying contrarians?

"Not professing opposition" is different from supporting it. Sorry for not making it more clear.

If someone has no public view on the issue - that's fine. It's a completely different thing if they actively take the irrational view (like supporting it)
