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.

what do I need to know to understand this?
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.
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 of smoked over the years would like a word.

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.
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.
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.

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)
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!
Only the best for guests!
Dollar tree diphenhydramine buckshot. Instead of the hat man, you meet the coat hanger dwarf.
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.
