In the Bourne Legacy Aaron Cross(Jeremy Renner) and the other agents each take a green pill(physical enhancement), and a blue pull(mental enhancement).

I always thought this was supposed to mean that the Treadstone agents had permanent enhancement but it was dangerous so they started the pill regiment program in Legacy.

The Legacy agents are from another program, I don’t think the Blackbriar or Treadstone agents from the original trilogy were enhanced. It’s been years since I’ve watched any of these tho 🤷

Yet, in the first Bourne movie the asset (Clive Owen) that came after Bourne at the end of the film mentioned the headaches from the pills after Jason shot him in the field. I always assumed that was from some sort of program enhancement.

Watch it again. He mentions the pills and headaches.
He talks about the headaches and that it might have something to do with the headlights. Jason asked him "what is Treadstone?", Clive's character says, "It's the pills, they said go to paris." and doubles over in pain.

You're right. Thank you for clearing that up!
