This movie contains 19 potentially triggering events.
a character attempts to get high by licking a psychedelic substance off of a toad, but the entire scene is played for laughs, and his "trip" is very anticlimactic. the punchline is how short and uneventful his trip is, compared to how intense it was supposed to be.
It’s just a short convo but I’ll give details below so minor TW and spoilers-ish
A friend of Austin’s at the party talks about how his 13 year old daughter has c-cups and he is worried about how men look at her but that’s it. It doesn’t go into too much detail but if that’s a sensitive thing to you just fast forward when they start laughing when Craig breaks the door. It’s around 4 mins?
not really, but there is a running joke about the main character's wife hanging out a lot with her ex-boyfriend who's a better person than he is, to a comical degree. it's clear she prefers spending time with her ex, but it's all played for laughs and never dips into cheating territory.

at one point, his wife says she'll be staying in her ex's poolhouse, implying she's leaving him or at least taking a break. still no mention of cheating, but that's the closest it gets.
Craig eats poisonous mushrooms. I left when he was sweaty at the mall but according to my mom he did throw up. I’m not sure about the time but it’s pretty obvious when it’s coming
Yes, nothing truly happens but a man has a psychotic break and breaks into a house, threatening everyone with a gun. The gun fires when someone tries to grab it from him but it doesn’t hurt anyone. That same character throws a phone across the room in frustration later, and it breaks. That character yells a lot and makes a lot of rash decisions (nearly crashing a car for example) that could be interpreted as violent.
There is a psychotic break where a character loses touch with reality. There’s also a very strong feeling of dissociation from the main character throughout (at least when I watched it.) There is also a scene where he licks a psychedelic frog and trips and orders a sandwich and someone looks like someone else he knows.
there's only one drug scene in the film, and a character experiences a comically anticlimactic "trip" from licking a psychedelic toad. he does hallucinate, but the joke is that he experiences something incredibly mundane, despite how intense he was told it'd be.

a character hits his breaking point, enters a house he's not welcome in, and starts making demands while waving a gun around. the scene is written and directed to be intense and comedic at the same time.
During a specific scene, a character runs through a dark tunnel and the camera switched to first-person perspective for about 5-10 seconds and shakes as he runs.
There is one moment where a character looks at a flower and says that its beauty makes you think there must be a higher power at work, but the concept isn’t explored further.

Yes there is minimal blood, a character has a nosebleed twice and later a character is cut by shattered glass and has a number of tiny cuts scattered on his face.
