great execution of what? is this a cosplay of something?

Some people use benadryl like a recreational drug. From descriptions I’ve read it just sounds horrible, your vision gets artifacts that look like spiders over every surface, some people see a man with a hat, which is what this cosplay is supposed to be, and I’m probably forgetting other stuff.

I once took Benadryl for allergies, not knowing of its side effects. I took it on my way to a full eight hours of sitting in an overly warm room (it was on the second floor of an office building with a broken AC and an ancient projector was running in the middle of the room … In August, IIRC) listening to someone lecture 20ish bored people about how to do our then-new job. The best I can say of the day is that I managed to stay technically awake.

I’m pretty sure that was also the last time I took Benadryl. I would not describe the experience as enjoyable. I’ve taken similar medications since then and have appreciated their efficacy and aid in getting to sleep, but I can’t imagine taking them recreationally. No judgement to anyone who does, it’s just not something I can interpret as fun.
