The summer after I graduated high school I messed around with a few different drugs. It got way too fun for me way too fast and I wanted to try something different.

I knew benadryl could get you high so I tried it. The first time I tried it I took ten. All that did was make me sleepy and very twitchy. I then went up to 15. And I still wasn't experiencing much when it came to visuals, only a few floaters and kind of melted looking walls. I still wanted more.
I still wanted more.


I moved up to 22 the next time. It got crazy. I tried to walk around the house to see how affected I was and I fell down the stairs several times. I saw my deceased mother and had several conversations with her. And I woke up on the pull-out bed in my game room. This time was by far the scariest.

I realized at about an hour and a half that I wasn't in my house. I don't remember leaving but somehow I was sitting in the seats put in a tree in our yard I sit in when it's nice and I want to read. It was very difficult getting down out of the tree. When I went inside I sat on the couch and turned on the tv. Then suddenly my grandmother was standing in front of me asking why I was sitting in the living room with nothing on and why I was up so late anyways. It was about 3am. I told her I wad going to bed soon so she went back to bed. I saw my mom again several times that night.

For almost the entire next day I sounded like an idiot because I was answering questions that were never asked. Replying to a conversation that never happened. Things like that. I don't advise anyone ever take as many pills as I did. I took about 800 benadryl over about two weeks. It's a bad idea and I wouldn't do it.
