Certainly there are the bits with the high on speed/acid/booze Hells Angels and others (hanging about on stage, before the murder,) from the Maysles film "Gimme Shelter" and though not a psychedelic drug film, there are few films that are druggier than "Requiem for a Dream" and I guess "Drugstore Cowboy" might be considered in that way too. Oh, and then of course there is the more recent "A Scanner Darkly".
Puff N Stuff has been mentioned so I'll include my reference to the "Mr. Show" episode that puts the Sid and Marty Croft man in a suit Saturday morning kids shows into a proper context, i.e., Lidsville, Sigmond and the Sea Monster, etc....supper druggy and funny. If your looking for more transgressive depictions of drug/underground culture then look into the films of Richard Kern and the other Transgressive filmmakers, "Right Side of My Brain" and others from his canon might help. others: "Rivers Edge" - weed/booze/speed/narcotics "Quadrophenia - speed/booze/weed "Dogstar Man" certainly looks druggy "What We Do is Secret" - Germs/Darby Crash biopic heroin/speed/weed/booze "Sid and Nancy" - you name it "Martin" - vampirism as drug addiction - George Romero "Addiction" (also vampirism as drug addiction) , "Bad Lieutenant" - Abel Ferrara Loads of goofy getting it ridiculously wrong drug stuff in the old cop show "Adam-12." Thats a pretty disparate group I've listed but hope it helps in some way. Joe V.
