I think there is an important distinction between trippy and drugged.
"Drugstore Cowboy and Sid and Nancy I'd call drugged but not trippy.

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.

Back in the late 60s/ early 70s most TV cop shows included a "trip"
sequence. The trend culminated with The French Connection 2 infamous
heroin room. Most of those trips were more funny than scary....
Some TV series were a trip like Land of the Giants and Puff N Stuff
(Which we 5th graders used to call "Puffing stuff" back in 72).
Nixon TV press conferences were also quite trippy.
