The thing is, I find that when I'm tripping, even on medium to large doses, if something's just straight-up surreal, it's not going to be as traumatic as something that's more or less normal for a few minutes, then devolves into madness. It's the whole personal investment in the story unfolding - in Eraserhead, I get used to the strangeness quickly, and just have an uncomfortable sense of dread throughout. With something like Twin Peaks, I was following a storyline with characters who would have moments of normalcy, then strange things began happening which made me more suddenly horrified, and thus way more affected by the material.
As far as droogs lately - had some Northern Lights today - pricey stuff. Friend got back from a road trip to see some buddies in Arizona, and they got it from Cali. I wasn't especially stoned, but I was ridiculously high. There was a period of time where I couldn't form sentences properly. That stuff's firemost.
