Morrison and Hendrix suffered from heroin addiction, a disease that ultimately killed them. Do you think the Beatles were pretending to be heroin addicts but mistakenly thought that making cartoon movies for kids would be more convincing than passing out on stage?
As far as I know Jim Morrison never did heroin, he was an acid, pills and cocaine man. Jimi Hendrix was really just into LSD and pills and I`ve read varying accounts saying that he did heroin and others saying he never did it because of his hatred of needles. Grace Slick was known for doing LSD but I`ve never heard of here passing out on stage.

As far as the Beatles go, they were never seriously into drugs (It was mostly Lennon anyway) like some of the above and I`d call them dabblers because it was the cool thing to do at the time, rather than being serious users.
