The SQUIP is not a drug, but takes the form of a suspicious pill. Several characters drink alcohol at a party. A character is seen smoking weed onstage during Act 2.

Two characters almost have sex while unable to consent (due to being unwilling but possessed, and under the influence of drugs, respectively.) They don't go further than making out and partially disrobing, but the sober character yells that he wants it to stop, which may distress some viewers.

in the song "do you wanna hang" chloe attempts to seduce jeremy. jeremy explicitly does not want to have sex with her and tries to leave, but the squip forces him to stay seated. chloe is too drunk and passes out, and the squip short circuts which allows jeremy to leave. it's never addressed past this.

the high-school aged characters are sexually active. most notably chloe, who attempts to initiate sex with jeremy and mentions that she's "had sex in every room in this house" (because her ex-boyfriend lives there, not because she's a slut. her words.)

The SQUIPS possess students and cause them to act in ways they would not normally and some have memory loss after the possession ends.

Not exactly, but the SQUIP tries to force the main character out of habits that could be autism behaviors (ie anxiety, not knowing what to say in social situations or getting overwhelmed, etc)

Mild strobe effects are used throughout the show, often when the Squip shocks Jeremy. The most flashing occurs when the Squip descends from the ceiling during the play.

The show begins with Jeremy trying to watch p**n before school. Allusions to sex and masturbation are made throughout the show. Two characters make out and it's made clear that they would have had sex if not for outside distractions.
