Would you take the red pill?

Asking this on a psychedelic forum is probably poor sampling procedure, but the question remains...
Would you take the red pill (as in the red pill from the popular, beloved The Matrix film), if given the opportunity?
If you don't know what the red pill is... well, you're either lying or intentionally avoiding watching one of the most thought-provoking mainstream movies of all time.
Edit: This is what I'm talking about:

I'd try taking both pills to see what happens.

It's a single-celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals. Everything the body needs.

Psychedelic users almost definitely represent a biased subset of the population for this question

Anyone whose ever had level 4 or 5 experiences has basically already taking the red pill.
I've never been the same since experiencing Ego death.

I saw what they ate. But really, it looks like a pretty shitty life for most of them that did eat the red pill. I'll stick to temporary red pills thank you very much. I love the sunshine and steak, even if it is fake.

I always say the red pill, as knowing that my reality is false would be unacceptable to me - I'd have to know the true reality even it was more uncomfortable.
My non-psychedelic-using friend contends that he would be happy to take the blue pill, as it doesn't matter to him if the current reality is false - he says if it has the appearance of being true, then that is no different from it being true. To me that is solipsism, but to him it's simply choosing the most favourable sensory inputs.

In the film, they could visit the matrix whenever and eat steak. 
Personally, I wish I could eat that gooey stuff everyday...
It's a single celled protein combined with synthetic aminos, vitamins, and minerals... everything the body needs.
Stuff is probably killer bodybuilder nutrition. At the very least, it would save a lot of trouble trying to get the right nutrition by eating variety.
