Have you read Book V? If I remember correctly, Carla discusses the incident there. I believe she used LSD twice recreationally. The book is available for download from L/L's site.
My understanding is that Carla, Don, and Jim viewed the Ra contact as a sacred trust and that none of the three would have consciously done anything to damage or distort the contact. Carla, naively, thought that doing LSD with a friend on her own time would not affect the contact. I don't think she was high at the time of any session, nor do I think her having done LSD affected the quality of the information that came through. It did cause the sessions in Book II to be shorter than normal because of the need for Carla to regain strength, which is partly why that book is thinner than the rest.
Over time Carla, Don, and Jim learned that everything they did affected the contact, and once they attracted their fifth-density negative friend, everything was watched for opportunities for negative intervention.
I'm pretty sure the LSD use occurred after the moon base session (session 8), so I don't think it's relevant to the question of whether the moon base information is distorted or not.
There is a tape flipping issue in the Ra sessions, to a minor extent, at least as far as the re-listening project goes. The original sessions were recorded on three tapes each (I think) and the tapes were started at slightly different times so that the flip would occur at a different time on each and none of the sessions be lost. However, only one tape was kept from each session; the others were re-used after the transcription was done. So in the re-listening project there is a tape flipping issue. Later sessions at wiki.lawofone.info indicate where the tape flip occurred; this has not been done yet with the earlier sessions.
The blank tape in the LSD session is not because of a tape flip, however. On that tape the one word seems to have been intentionally erased.
BTW, peregrine, you say you're interested in clarity, but the way you titled this thread(!!!!!) suggests that a certain amount of emotion may be involved, too.
