I wonder if this pill would’ve made Dick larger or made him small.

    Either it would have inspired some much needed self-awareness, empathy and consciousness of guilt, or… It would have driven him to fervently implement his 12 hour long Boschian hell-vision.

        Well, no. But that was rather my point: As helpful as I think infrequent responsible use of hallucinogens can be for those already given to self-reflection, when a person who’ve spent their entire life dodging their moral obligations and rationalizing away their doubts is suddenly confronted with exactly who and what they are and left with no way out, the results are not often beneficial.
