I suspect that much of the violence in REH's work would vanish, being supplanted by a mellow confusion. Or, it is possible he would take up a sword and go struting into town, thinking he is Conan....
For CAS--I'm not sure his writing could possibly get any weirder. I suspect that the effects of mescaline on his imagination would cause him to see something so frighteningly weird that he'd simply die of a heart attack.
Lovecraft--he would become extremely paranoid, and start to think that Cthulhu is real, and is about to rise any day...
Although I am by no means whatsoever an authority on the effects of drugs....
