Wow! No wonder I got hammered on eggnog with nutmeg I it last Xmas!! ( mind u I did drink a lot of cider and whiskey too!!!)

Too much nutmeg can upset your stomach. I did nutmeg as a project for my nutrition class in college and got a stomach ache, some weird mental distortions. No hallucinations and an F for a grade. The teacher said it didn’t meet any scientific criteria.
Rob
The trip is quite introverted, similar to psilocybin though with less visual hallucinations.

I did this by accident. I grated a heap of raw nutmeg onto a meal and tripped hard then slept for 26 hours. Not nice. I doubt the powder does the same. I bought the whole nuts from a spice store.

I saw an allusion to this in Malcolm X when he gave him his last “fix” using nutmeg. 👍

I've never heard that

The amount you'd need for the effect is pretty bad for your organs

Wanda , I've sprinkled it on tapioca pudding and rice pudding.Adds just a little burst of flavor.

Rob, it can make your "meg" nuts!

well, there is truth too about peppers, specifically hot peppers. Eating too many or eating peppers who have above 750,000 Scoville units can also cause you to have hallucinating effects. Just think of Ed Curries latest pepper development the, Xperience at a Scoville rating of 2,500,000...can't eat too many of that one. And he's now developing a new pepper hoping it reaches 7.5 million Scoville units.

Wish I knew that when I was younger, would've mixed it with my pot.

I have a dog that I named Nutmeg and then found this and realized my dog is exactly like the spice which is funny I’m laughing thinking about it :)

Wow, this is new to me. I use it in my French Toast, Sweet Potato Pies and Candied Yam and nothing happens.

Tom, I was in Germany in the early 70's. What everyone was smoking was Hashish(brown, choking red,morphine green,Lebanon blonde and the best was black laced with opium).

That was the rum….

My mead wouldn't be the same without it.

I heard that you have to eat so much it can make you ill and in 50 years of err "research" into entheogens I can honestly say that I have never met anyone who has been affected by nutmeg
wildarbennett
forget pass the eggnog Just give me the nutmeg grinder 😂
Trey
Captfishheaded, I thought that was capsaicin from cayenne pepper?
Captfishheaded
sally, you are close. Nutmeg has a red growth on the outside of the shell, which is actually mace and is used as pepper spray for defense or protection against attack. It is red and color and grows around the nut.
Uncle Jimmy
Wow! Never knew that fact.
Wanda
I didn't know that. Use it in my sweet potato pies.
Tom
Never have used any kind of drugs, but in the 60's, I was in Germany in the army, and it seemed like just about every one was smoking pot, or something. I heard about nutmeg, and thought I'd try it. I must have done something wrong, because nothing happened!
