You can always break a contract, but it really depends on what your contract says to determine if there are any penalties to breaking it and if so what those penalties are. No one can force you to participate in an illegal activity, but if it's merely the presence of the drugs, that you object to it may be more difficult to use that as your grounds to break the contract.
You should consult with an attorney who has experience in the entertainment industry to review the contract and provide you with an opinion as to your options. There will likely be a fee related to the review and opinion, but it will be worth it to get the advice.
