Having watched films and TV from the acid-soaked 60's... I'm going to say no.
There are plenty of films made from '65-'70 that were clearly made under the influence- either the writer, director, editor, cameramen, composers or actors were manifestly high... are any of them real classics?

Yes. Phill Tippett was on acid while creating Jaba the Hut, possibly one of the most ubiquitous, classic characters of all time.

I think the problem isn't a shortage of borderline insane writers but a shortage of risk taking patrons.
( Much easier to predict how much money you'll make with a sequel of a sequel of a tired and over-used trope )

Exactly this. There's a fine line between brilliance and idiocy when it comes to storytelling and it's hard for most to tell the difference until the finished product is in front of them.
