Pretty much anyone who makes electronic, or experimental music of any kind including the people who draw their album covers, a lot of film makers make films with LSD influenced visuals, some made to be watched while on LSD as it gives you a consistent change like a filter to open eyed images, like both the old and new Suspiria, Climax, Too Old to Die Young, Annihilation being some examples of this. Drug culture in the sense of people who use LSD can be absolutely massive depending on what you mean, like is all electronic music of almost any kind drug culture? Is avant garde music or noise rock, space rock etc. or experimental film drug culture?

I'd agree with you about music, to some extent. Film is a different story imo.

There are people who use drugs and like to say some weird movies are trippy so the director used drugs when they didn't, but there absolutely is a psychedelic influence in films, Gaspar Noe is an example that does it more overtly than a lot of his influences but what he is doing isn't new and people involved in productions like this aren't usually going to tell you they use drugs some people think make you go crazy so they look like an unreliable insurance liability.

Yeah, I just think most 'surreal' cinema comes from a source that existed well before psychedelic culture was a proper thing. (Surrealist painters and filmmakers didn't often indulge in pyschs, even modern ones like Lynch stay aware from that)

I have no idea either way about that specifically because I don't think they would tell us if they did for a number of reasons.

Psychs have existed since before surrealism though, mescaline and psilocybin for example.
