    I abused benadryl a couple of times as a young adult, and I can say with absolute confidence that there is nothing enjoyable about the experience whatsoever, unless of course you enjoy feeling like you’re an hour away from brain damage or death. I’d put it on par with Salvia, at least in terms of enjoyment factor. Yeah, things get weird, but not in a cool way.

      I tried to kms with it once but instead just had an awful time, then took the same dose again the next day

          That’s so sweet of you, thanks! This was nearly a decade ago, and I’m in a much better place now

            It was the Therapy, wasn’t it Gary?

            Kidding aside was the second dose another attempt or looking to recreate the effects? I’ve found medium doses somewhat enjoyable. Confusing as hell, but not as miserable as a high dose.

              Lol yes, therapy and meds

              I think it was self-harm, bc it certainly wasn’t fun for me, and I knew from the first time that that dose wasn’t lethal

              Edit: calling it self-harm doesn’t really capture it actually; I think it’s more accurate to say it was an intriguing way to play with the idea of death
