It would be interesting to know why you ask? As I understand it Narcissism is not so much a fear of weakness as a fear of being loved for being ones self. If this true self is more gentle and passive than the unrealistic expectations being put on the developing narcissist this could certainly be the case.

Can narcissism only be during drug use?

To answer your question, we must first define narcissism.
thefreedictionary.com describes narcissism as excessive admiration
for oneself, or a psychological disorder involving lack of empathy,
self-preoccupation, and unconscious deficits in self-esteem. Sound
like anyone you know?
For the first definition I'm sure that you said that,yes, you
have met an excessively vain person. But on the second definition
I'd wager you were a little less definitive. Narcissism is not
directly associated with drug use. It is quite possible to have
Narcissistic Personality Disorder without having partaken in
narcotics.
