Was Based Pinecone tripping while writing GR or was that other guy lying? Also, he says 'fucked up' not 'tripping'...

No I don't really dabble in psyche altering drugs other than cannabis

Pynchon has almost certainly tried acid, and he's well known to 420 blaze it on a scale to rival Snoop Dogg, so he's probably written while experiencing a different reality from the rest of us.

Best article on his life so far. Pretty sure it's in there. There's another article where some guy meets up with him to listen to jazz, eat burgers and blaze so you could try looking for that too.

Many sources state that Pynchon was smoking ridiculous amounts of weed at the time while writing GR & two other novels. Im sure the man has tripped a few times.

And people wonder why he writes about paranoia all the time.
