I was thinking that perhaps Tantra was offering a path for them that integrated Buddhism into sexuality and enabled practices, which were following a slightly different path of practice, but the same path of awareness and intent, with the same values.

Sexuality is just another sense experience; it is just another sense pursuit and just another sense gratification. Giving it a special pride of place is unwarranted.

On the other hand, if what you're saying is true, I see no reason why one couldn't integrate Buddhism into one's drug habit with great 'tantric' success.
