It's because since it's a modern version of the play they had to describe Queen Mab somehow (the dream fairy that gives people wacko dreams)!. So they decided to use drugs to show that!.Www@Enter-QA@Com
This version of Romeo and Juliet was Gus van Sant's modern-day interpretation of Shakespeare's play!.
In Mercutio's speech about Queen Mab he talks about her bringing people dreams that end up taking the form of whatever the person is addicted to- e!.g, a lover will dream lustfully of love, a greedy lawyer will dream of fees and money, etc!.
Through lovers’ brains, and then they dream of love;
O’er courtiers’ knees, that dream on court’sies straight,
O’er lawyers’ fingers, who straight dream on fees,
O’er ladies ‘ lips, who straight on kisses dream!.!.!.
The use of the drug is another means of representing an addiction, just like love can be addicting!. As it's often said, "love is a drug"!.
Just fyi, in terms of literalism the drug Romeo took most likely wasn't acid, it was most likely Ecstasy!. Acid usually doesn't come in pill form like that, and if it was acid the visuals would have been much more hallucinogenic!. Either that or van Sant just did a poor job of representing an acid trip, lol!.Www@Enter-QA@Com

because he wanted to die!.
Juliet pretended o die but he didnt know!.
He thought she really did!.
Therefore he drank the acid so he could die!.
Leonardo Decaprio is soooo cute in that movie!.
