A list of SF cliches includes "Psychedelic drugs give somebody magical power over space, time and reality," but off the top of my head I can only think of a couple of examples (The Stars My Destination and arguably Vurt). Anybody got any others?

The quintessential example, I would have thought, would be Dune.

...assuming spice melange can be defined as a psychedelic, as opposed to some other psychotropic compound, but what do I know...

Altered State?

the 8th Doctor novel "Revolution Man"?
"A Scanner Darkly" to an extent...

Your question turned up in my flist at the same time as this, which seems vaguely relevant.

Just read an issue of Hellblazer wherein John snorts the bones of St Nicholas, which is less so.

I'm sure there are a couple of things which fit the criteria, but are just floating out of reach.

(Quick, reach for the psychedelics.)

I'm fairly sure I have the book your icon is from. Somewhere.

"I Have No Mouth but I Must Scream for Eye Scream"?

Ah, found it.
