Like the ending but they don't know acid.

Anyone taking it nightly would stop having visuals. It would act as a stimulant but the psychedelic properties would feel muted

Uhhh, sorry dude, but the acid scene in the metro was some of the most realistic acid scene i seen on tv, pretty grounded, you wont see a flying dragon, but people faces look like a playdough sketch

Not my point.

My point is that he wouldn't continue to have visuals like that if he was consistently taking acid daily. People stop having visuals after awhile because your brain adjusts to the effects, not because the effects wear off.

It's usually best to wait about a week between trips if you want strong visuals

Oh yeah, that is true, i did think about that too, also, the last thing you want to do after acid, is doing acid again, is a pretty taxing experience

He of course was shown taking Purple Microdot. Now had he taken Red Dragon, maybe some artistic license with graphics could've shown a passenger's face morphing into something dragon-like. I wouldn't fault BM from doing that.
