A parable for LSD?


Just wondering how many other people saw this movie as a parable for the mind expanding effects of acid? This was actually the first thing I thought twenty minutes into the flick, but I haven't seen anyone else noticing the parallels... No one else noticed this? I mean, why is it a drug that causes x-ray vision? Why is he worried about cumulative effects? And why doesn't it stop with looking through peoples clothes, but continue on to a vision of god? And why are there so many psychedelic effects? Just wondering if anyone else saw this...


...how'd you like to lick from my open sores?
