Man Benadryl was strong, but Dimetapp was like easily 2x stronger. My parents bought a box once on sale when I was a kid. I was literally falling asleep on my feet and having realistic dreamlike hallucinations with my eyes open. At the prescribed dose.
Hamburglar, meet Hat Man

But were you suffering from a cold?

Honestly couldn’t tell you, then or now lol.

We used to call the trip from dimetapp as ‘being in the fish tank’ because it was like being in water but standing in the kitchen. Wild dream-like hallucination is spot on.

I’ve never even heard of Dimetapp

Dimetapp was a cough medicine. Best grape flavor ever made.

That’s not enough to overcome the likely tolerance anyone willing to break in to someone’s home already has.
ChicoSuave@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Weird to think someone needs a diphenhydramine addiction/tolerance to commit a crime. Usually they just nap with very clear sinuses.

If you want to know what “wag the dog” means look at your reply. Nobody said the thing you said except you.

When I was a a kid I took 27 pills of this stuff in one go. I saw some really weird shit that night. I hallucinated my father on the phone with my ex stepmother just walking around and talking (they were going through a divorce at the time so I saw several things related to that), saw some trees turn into monsters and a cowboy and heard some voices. It was a weird high. Not a good high. Id rate about 3/10

Sometimes with psychedelics, it can feel weird if you take too little and end up just shy of a full trip. That’s probably what happened. Next time, try 50.

I don’t get it, what’s this device the Benadryls were loaded into?
MellowBright@lemmy.ml 2 weeks ago
A shotgun shell. It’s a fairly common practice to reload shotgun shells with rock salt as a cheap, less lethal ammo. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BY_sD3MvTY

I recall in high school telling a fellow friend that every time I took Tylenol pm I dreamed of scifi space shit.
So she took one. And told me the next day she also dreamed of aliens. But the alien was a basketball player. And they started dating.
That was 25 years ago. I still remember that fun adventure of discovering benadryl.
Also it’s likely it causes vivid dreaming because it suppresses rem. Alcohol can do the same. But when it wears off, your body tries to compensate for the loss by having more REM. If you are still asleep , you get that effect.
Benadryl has a pretty short half life. So. Yep. That’s probably the mechanism.
For me. It’s still usually scifi related themes but I consume a lot of scifi fiction. So.

Has she recently watched Space Jam?

Having allergies prob saved me from experiencing less socially acceptable recreations. I still have a Benadryl from time to time. For my allergies.

DMT shells. They leave changed.

Unfortunately, we might find that these are palmed off to someone unconnected to the crime.
