language
There is use of stong language ('f**k', 'motherf**ker'), along with milder terms including 'shit' and 'asshole'.
drugs
There is drug misuse throughout, with characters in high school taking a pill called 'Mercury' which makes them hallucinate. Characters are seen under the influence of the drug, including during an extended sequence in which people writhe on the floor while high on the drug, and another man sits naked as people walk around him. However, the film does not endorse the use of drugs: the negative aspects are obvious in terms of the narrative as some of the hallucinations are disturbing for the users, and use of a pure form of the drug has led to life-changing consequences for some of the characters. The film also contains use of marijuana.
nudity
There is a scene in which a character visits a bar and a topless woman dances on a pole in front of him. There are also drawings in a high school yearbook and on a toilet door that crudely depict male genitalia and ejaculation.
flashing/flickering lights
This work contains flashing images which may affect viewers who are susceptible to photosensitive epilepsy.
additional issues
Some of the hallucinations when characters take 'Mercury' include disturbing imagery, such as the repeated sight of a distorted face screaming and gnashing its teeth in close-up. There is a sequence in which an adult character hits a young boy in the face, causing a bloody wound which becomes a scar running the length of his face when he is later seen as an adult. There is a scene of moderate sex as a woman thrusts on top of a man in bed, but no nudity is shown. In one scene a character vomits after waking up from another trip.
