Red Pill vs. Blue Pill

Hey Pub,
This has probably been asked before, but a few nights ago, I smoked a big bowl with my gf and watched the matrix and the matrix reloaded. Well, I got to thinking...
What if you had the choice of the red pill or the blue? If you did take the red pill, you can be free, go to zion, whatever in the Real world, but live in a world that has crappy food, crappy living establishments and the real threat of machines killing you on a daily basis, or take the blue pill, but, by some random coincedence, realize that the matrix is false and still live in it, day to day, your body being sucked dry for it's energy, always remembering it's false but living pretty well. So, which ones would the shroomites pick?

Red... You can always visit the world given by the blue pill (as per the movie).
But, when you're sick and tired of all that fake shit, un-port and get on with life.

Ok, no more mushrooms for you Annom.
If so, why would the world reveal itself to us of it's matrix self in term's of the movie? That's like being locked up in prison, and all the gaurds telling you how to escape.

I like that.
But aren't they too subject to their own matrix? We all are our own creations, as much as they are part of us, we are part of them.

Everyone lives in our "blue pill" version of reality. Our consciousness creates the reality around us. That said, probably the red pill. Or maybe the blue pill. I'd probably eat both, actually. What a freaking trip.

I only saw the first one, but what if you didn't eat either?
I would pick the red pill, but I picked the blue accidentally. In reality I'd probably eat the blue and pocket the red for when I started to sober up.

If given that option I would have to choose the red pill. I couldnt go on actually knowing for sure that I was living in a false reality.

Definately the Red pill.
The simulation programs can let you play around in your OWN matrix, no agents please! You can just kung-fu the hell out of simulation people, or eat some virtual steak to wash down the real mush you ate 20 minutes ago.
Hell, I'd tell morpheus to shove his prophecy up his ass so I could play around in my own psychadellic paraside for the rest of my life, never to be out of the 'dentist chair with thing that plugs in head' again!
