If it is a gas, it must exist in some form or fashion and have a delivery mechanism. So somebody would have to be wandering around with a tank of gas and a nozzle to spray it or something, as well as have some way to avoid being taken in by the hallucinogenic gas.

Granted, if all it took was a quick puff, perhaps it would be concealable (and anyone you spritzed could be killed while delusional), but I'm still dubious. I always just assumed the butterflies were a metaphor, either for being "close to the killer" (no idea if it's for ANY given killer or only a particular one) in a given instance, or for seeing something you weren't supposed to see (Shannon sees butterflies while on midnight rounds, etc.). "The magic at work" as one of the killers operates, as it were.

EDIT: Working off the butterfly thing, imagine the butterflies represent the "ritual killer" and then imagine the ep1 First Twilight:

Spoiler for ep1 First Twilight:
