LIGHT SLEEPER - For God's sakes. Why has nobody thought of this one!
IN BRUGES - When Ray and Ken party with Little Jimmy on Chloe's stash !! heh heh.
THE CONNECTION : Made back in 1964. It's the best drug culture movie ever made.
THE COOL WORLD : More about gangs than drugs, but that's what they were up to.
BIRD - Clint Eastwood's biopic on the life of Charlie Parker
TRAFFIK - The original British made for TV flic (Not the remake which sucked).
HUMAN TRAFFIC: 1999 British film about the club scene and the drugs they take.
MONTGOMERY CLIFT : 1983 bio about "the longest suicide in Hollywood history."
PRIDE & GLORY : About the Heroin and crack epidemic in Washington Heights (Gritty)
I know I'm a bit older than most of the entrants to this discussion, so I hope someone, anyone - benefits from the enjoyment of watching The Connection and The Cool World (not Ralph Bakshi's animated movie, but Shirley Clarke's original).
The Connection was one of the "dopest" movies ever made and Shirley Clarke is #1. -

Depends on what you mean by culture. Films that realistically portray drug culture? Best films about drug culture? Best drug related films?
The Basketball Diaries
Blow
Dazed and Confused
The Doors
Across the Universe
Where the Buffalo Roam (better than fear loathing imo)
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
The Wall
The Rules of Attraction
Requiem for a Dream
Movies about overcoming addiction When a Man Loves a Woman, Clean and Sober, and 28 Days.
