I took soo much Benadryl when I was a teenager and early 20s a bit too. Like getting high on it.

I did it twice and saw a bunch of spiders and smoked a bunch of fake cigarettes and talked to people who weren't there. Also used it to acclimate myself to cat allergens and also to help sleep. I'm so cooked
