The rule is that; During the execution of a valid search warrant, if evidence of a crime is discovered that is un-related to that for which the warrant was issued, the police may take action for the newly disclosed offense. In this case, they had a valid warrant to search your premises for stolen goods, and during that search, they discovered contraband drugs. Yes, they can arrest upon making that discovery, even though that was not the reason they were there for originally. The warrant gave them them lawful permission to be there in the pefromance of their duties, they are not required to turn a blind eye to things other than what is specified in the warrant.

A warrant is an order for an arrest issued by the court. But many arrests do not need a warrant. If you punch someone in the face, and police are called, you will be arrested without a warrant, and one will not be needed. If say, you failed to show up in court, then a warrant for your arrest will be issued, to alert all officers that you should be arrested on sight. So the warrant itself is not the thing 'allowing' you to be arrested.
