I've never heard of a single author who has purposefully recorded themselves gibbering away whilst tripping, and then transcribing what they write into a novel. It would totally devalue the author! "Yeah I couldn't write, so I just took a load of LSD and when I woke up the book was right there."

 

LSD doesn't impair memory functions, and neither does Psilocybin or Mescaline - if someone trips on any of these drugs, they will remember what happened to them when they are sober again. So they wouldn't need to record themselves, if they felt inclined to write about 'the experience.'

What about Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, although that was largely fictionalized.
