I abused it a few times as a teenager, and it was really shitty every time. Someone told me that you can see the air by abusing Welbutrin as well, so naturally I tried that too. You can absolutely see the air, but it also makes you feel like you have a brain tumor.
Even though it makes no sense, all I could figure out for this was that they were hiding something valuable in a container of benedryl so burglars wouldn’t find it, instead of hiding it in a box of rock salt or a box of nails.
It’s a shotgun shell. People sometimes load them up with rock salt and nails for home defense, even though bird and buckshot will do the trick.
This person loaded the shell up with benadryl, which will cause hallucinations when taken in higher quantities.
Fun fact, Benadryl is actually a fairly powerful local anesthetic. You can pack it into a wound before applying sutures and it is almost as effective as lidocaine. So basically, shooting someone with a benadryl load is probably a bit counterproductive and might just make angry zombies.
Careful with this info. Diphenhydramine can cause nerve damage if at too high a concentration: 5 parts whatever to 1 part Benadryl is the typical dilution for local anesthetics.
You say Benadryl, but do you mean one part diphenhydramine, or one part of the crushed tablets at presumed to concentration?
The actual chemical. As for adding crushed Benadryl tablets I have zero clue about the concentration and the potential of that to cause damage to the nerves. I was just urging caution.
This sounds like over-simplified information that is totally going to get someone in the ER.
I feel like if you’re in a situation where you need to know how to improvise an anaesthetic for sutures, you probably should be in the ER anyway, but can’t get to one.
Nah. Hold my beer.
you need quite lot of benadryl to cause deleriant reaction.
You can get a magazine extension for a Benelli M4 that will increase capacity from 5 to 7 (plus one in the chamber.)
Cute.
That looks like a cool zombie-defense weapon and a terrible actual weapon for self-defense or war.
Ya. It’s a range toy. Not all cars have to be useful on the track either.
FUCK ALLERGIES *ratatatatata*
home intruder has severe allergies.
he says thanks
That is a shotgun shell loaded with allergy medicine. In the US many people reload their own shotgun shells. If you put rock salt instead of lead shot it is less-than-lethal…sorta. Some put in weirder stuff like nails, etc. Americans are funny like that.
This you?
There’s multiple youtube channels that are devoted entirely to loading shotguns with weird shit.
And I get innovation is fun and all but I’ve shot a lot of shotguns, and it almost doesn’t matter what you put in it, it will leave a similar sized hole in whatever you shoot it at.
Thank you for explaining this. As a non-USian I had no idea what was going on.
Break into my home, you’re gonna be crammed full of whatever I think is funny.
🤣 you shoulda seen the look on his face when I blasted gummy bears into his ballsack after he broke into my house.
aka, “gunny bears”
just wait till you learn about cannons!
Own a musket for home defense, since that’s what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. “What the devil?” As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he’s dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it’s smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, “Tally ho lads” the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He Bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.
Just jam a tampon in there…
The Taofledermaus channel on YouTube is a lovesong to that tenet for over 10 years.
Magnesium.
Benadryl Buck Shot is a fucking great band name.
Track list on their debut album:
- Straight into my veins
- My-stamine
- Bodies (Let the bodies hit the floor, cover)
- Yeah?! What are you gonna do about it?
- Papercut enema
Papercut enema is so fucking horrible. I genuinely regret reading that. My ass puckered so hard I could hear it snap shut
I know, right? But the chorus is a banger:
You hollowed me out
Left me to shout
Your love…is like a papercut enema
I hate…what you are and I became!
An empty shadow that feels only pain
Left to walk the Earth spreading your name
FBI? Yep. This one right here!
Right up until you want to publish anything as Green Jello/Jelly found out when they had a hit.
Did you know that Maynard James Keenan and Danny Carey are both in that band. I learned that a little while back and it blew my mind.
No, that’s amazing!
what do I need to know to understand this?

Benadryl is a brand name of diphenhydramine, an antihistamine with a powerful side effect of drowsiness. Benadryl is labeled as an allergy relief medication but the same drug is sold under other brands such as Sominex as a sleep aid. Effects of overdosing on diphenhydramine include seizures, extreme drowsiness, excessive sleepiness, delirium, and hallucinations.

The translucent object packed with several of the pills is a shotgun shell. The text refers to the practice of reloading shotgun shells with other objects in an attempt to alter their lethality and/or pain potential. A shell loaded with rock salt for example, salt is much lighter than lead so it should have less stopping/penetrating power, but any wounds caused are automatically salted.
The salt load has an added benefit of temporarily incorporeating ethereal beings.
any wounds caused are automatically salted
I’m a little disappointed in myself that I didn’t think it’d work like that.
The idea behind a rock salt shell is it would be less likely to kill and more likely to HURT. Also possibly less likely to damage anything behind. You might take a little paint off the fridge but not destroy it.
Whether that’s actually how it works or not, call Adam and Jamie.
…or Johnny Knoxville
It’s okay…most folks are focused on the shotgun, the salt is definitely secondary in that moment
It would make a lot more sense with robotussin but whoever made this doesn’t really understand what’s in today’s OTC drugs, the Benadryl that was fun isn’t pink like these. Diphenhydramine is just a bad drug they need to recall.
If we can get an intruder high on any drugs in this scenario I’d go for datura. It’s not an otc drug, but I think you can legally grow the plant or even get it from a plant store. Most people describe the trip as hell
What Benadryl are you talking about, I’ve never heard of it being anything but diphenhydramine? People definitely abuse this form, it’s a deliriant in high doses and can cause hallucinations. I can’t recall its name but I distinctly remember there being a community about it on the other site.
Edit: perhaps you’re thinking of Sudafed PE, in which the main ingredient, pseudoephedrine, was switched for phenylephrine? The latter drug was recently found to be ineffective like you’re talking about. Though, the reason they made pseudoephedrine prescription only in the first place was because people were using it to make meth, not because it was a fun drug to abuse.
It’ll still fuck you up in a deeply unpleasant way if you try to have fun with it.
Literally having conversations with people who weren’t there. A hellish night of no sleep while desperately needing it. 0/10 would not recommend.
I mean, are you going to blast a home intruder with your fun drugs?
With MDMA. Then be a shoulder for them to cry on.

I think you need to be American. It is funny how the Americans are busy explaining the drug to you, but failing to understand that it is the underlying premise that most non-Americans won’t get.
Yeah I didn’t get that that was a shotgun shell I thought it was a film canister.
Also every antihistamine I’ve ever seen has been a tiny little round thing, those are huge
They expanded in the liquid. That should help.
Whenever I get Benedryll (I assume what’s pictured) there’s a lot of carrier material (supposedly for the tummy), but if you get Sudafed by itself (the main ingredient) it’s a tiny little round pill.
Im not saying you’re wrong about the amount of carrier material, but sudafed(pseudoephedrine) and benadryl(diphenhydramine) are two completely different drugs.
Edit: also i don’t think there’s any liquid inside the shell
my first thought was force feeding, but i do hope nobody force feeds nails to home intruders over there, so my second thought was uhhh, some sort of gun that shoots whatever you put in it? but would pills even work if someone uh, shot you with them? i’m pretty sure all pills are designed to need processing by our digestive track
All of the Oxy 80’s that have been railed or smoked over the years would like a word.
that’s still inserting them into your body in a semi-intended way, curious choice of hole but guess it works. i was thinking more a pill shard making its own hole into your body, that probably won’t give the pill’s intended effect
Or boofed
boofing would work way better than snorting or inhaling most pills i imagine, since your ass is still a part of your digestive track and things still do get absorbed through there
I’m using the other comments to hypothesise but I think they are using Benedryl (an anti-hystemine/anti-allergy medication) and putting it inside a shotgun cartridge. The implication being that they will shoot people breaking into their house with a powerful over-the-counter narcotic.
A lot of Benadryl will produce horrific dreams for many.
If blasted into their face by an explosive charge I imagine it will also leave them with horrific PTSD as well!
More like straight up nightmare hallucinations.
Others kinda covered it but I am someone who unfortunately has personal experience so I can offer details others can’t. Diphenhydramine, AKA benadryl or DPH, when used in doses higher than recommended, produces deliriant effects similar to substances like datura. At first you feel like gravity had increased on you from all sides. You are sinking and compressing. Your head feels heavy and has an outward pressure. Your mouth is dry. There is a tickling on your arms and legs, its the spiders. Every once and a while shadows move in the shapes of people. You could swear you were just talking to your mother, where did she go? How did I get in the bathroom? Why is it so hard to pee? You are so thirsty. Then you wake up. That was roughly 200mg for me, that’s 8 ish pills. Some people have much stronger hallucinations and often shared ones but this is the gist.
Jesus. And they sell this stuff over the counter???
Its an awful experience most people don’t do more than once. People who do are often engaging in a form of self harm. It should not be sold imo, its beneficial effects can be matched by later generation antihistamines without the negative effects. Causes dementia too iirc
Higher than recommended dosage? I’m a tall fat fuck so you’d think my body would need a little more than 1 tab of the OTC version to trip balls off of, but I feel so much more comfortable just living with my allergies than taking a Benadryl and being able to see all the demons crossing into our dimension.
I’ve taken hard drugs before and had no real issues with them, but half a Benadryl and I get angry, which is very unusual for me.
Benadryl gives my partner and his mother the skin-crawlies. It’s such a bizarre medication.
Histamine receptors, especially 3, are more important than people realize.
Well they’re also an anticholinergic, which means they block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. Acetylcholine is the chief chemical messenger controlling functions of the parasympathetic nervous system. It’s really important in brain and muscle function.
What are the effects of anticholinergics? Effects can include dry mouth and sore throat, resulting from the impaired secretion by exocrine glands. Another side effect is tachycardia, or a higher than usual heart rate, that occurs when anticholinergics interfere with receptors that typically slow the heart rate. Anticholinergics can also cause urinary retention (i.e., the inability to empty the bladder) and obstipation (i.e., the inability to pass stools or gas) due to decreased smooth muscle motility and tone. Additional anticholinergic effects include blurred vision and light sensitivity. Rarely, anticholinergics can cross the blood brain barrier and enter the central nervous systems, causing mood changes, hallucinations, confusion, or disorientation.
What is anticholinergic toxicity? Anticholinergic toxicity occurs when anticholinergic agents accumulate in the body and may lead to anticholinergic syndrome, which can cause dry mouth, flushed skin, hyperthermia, and tachycardia. It may also lead to anticholinergic delirium, which is characterized by confusion, hallucinations, and psychomotor symptoms. With lower doses, acute anticholinergic syndrome can resolve on its own after the anticholinergic medication has been stopped and fully excreted. On the other hand, higher doses can be life-threatening, so individuals should be medically reviewed and acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, such as donepezil and rivastigmine, can be prescribed as an antidote.
Fyi. Anticholinergics are a class of drugs which have been linked to dementia when used regularly by those 65 and older. Imbalances in acetylcholine are linked with chronic conditions, such as Alzheimer’s disease and Parkinson’s disease.
Oh trust me I’m veeeeeery familiar with anticholinergics and parasympathetic agonists both. I swear we devoted more time to those classes of drugs than we did beta-1 and beta-2 agonists for some reason.
Maybe the lecturer had a huge fear of organophosphate poisoning.
Something important that people aren’t really mentioning is that you can use salt-filled shotgun shells in a home defense situation to reduce collateral damage caused by the shotgun pellets penetrating through walls (idk what the nails are for, I’d assume something similar)
Nails hurt but wont kill
Bullshit, they can DEFINITELY kill if they hit the head or heart.
There are a handful of places that you can get hit by a nail fired with the speed of a shotgun that won’t kill you, but there are many, many more places that will.
Are you serious? Go talk to people about nail gun accidents. Most of your body can get shot with a nail.
Force = Mass * Acceleration.
A nail gun does not have the same amount of explosive power that a shotgun does, and it is typically mechanically limited to driving the nail head flush with the surface of whatever it’s attached to.
Shotguns do not have the precision or the initial driving force of a nail gun but they have a lot more follow-through when they do hit.
A nail coming out of a shot gun isn’t moving like a peklet or slug would. It isn’t going to tear a massive hole in your body and believe it or not you can lose whole chunks of yourself and live.
Unlikely to penetrate that far though
They are less lethal.
It’s an allergy medicine that’s also used as a sedative, put into a shotgun shell.
In higher doses it can cause dissasociation, delerium, hallucinations, etc.
There’s an upper limit to how much benadryl you should take in a sitting if you don’t want to breach the stratosphere
Does this count as chemical warfare?
Not “chemical warfare,” but maybe in the same genre of “chemical fuck you” as mace/pepper spray.
IIRC those are chemical warfare. They’re use is not regulated on civilians, but they’re banned for use in war.
mace/pepper spray is illegal in a lot of the world
I wouldn’t be using brand-name Benadryl for that unless it was expired. This clearly calls for the Kirkland Select store brand from Costco!
Dollar tree diphenhydramine buckshot. Instead of the hat man, you meet the coat hanger dwarf.
Only the best for guests!
That’s just Benadryl, but cheaper.
At least you found a way to cut down on ammo costs.
Oh, it’s a shell casing
“Say hello to my little friend!” I scream as I introduce the intruders to the hat man.
Crazy
purplepink knock-outgaspowder!
