Get the Intellectual dishonesty mug.Diphenhydramine is a drug used as a sleep-aid. It is often used as a recreational drug that is cheap and effective.
I've used diphenhydramine as a recreational drug before. If you want to you need to find out what high dose is right for how much you weigh. When I used it my light moved around, when I looked at my wall there were hundreds of flys all over it and it sometimes looked like my walls were smoking. I could barley walk and I didn't really know what I was doing all that much.
