Drugs won't affect someones ability to resist a taser at all. There are certain people who are not as affected by a taser. These are people with extremely high amounts of body fat, people with thick clothing, and people who happen to be practiced at deflecting the barbs.
Tasers work by locking up your muscles. Drugs generally don't affect your muscles. And even the ones that do don't make your muscles electricity-resistant. Tasers are actually most effective on stronger, or more muscular subjects. Very small amounts of electricity can easily control very large amounts of a muscle. A normal M-26 Taser (or the newer X-26) has more than enough amperage to drop a fully grown bull.
Like I said before, there are people who are resistant. Those people generally have very loose/thick clothing, or large amounts of body fat keeping the barbs from making good contact.
Anyone who has actually been on the receiving end of a taser knows that saying you can fight through a taser is like saying you can slap a bullet out of the air. However, they did show us footage of a gentleman who was tasered, waited the 5 seconds of the charge to stop, and then as the cop walked toward him, he snapped the lines in a split second and was able to get back up and run.
