@nicoman:  You seem to be experienced in psychotropics.  Would you recommend nutmeg as a recreational drug?  Would you recommend it over cannabis?  No way, right?

But.  For.  Every.  Teen.  And.  Other.  Young.  Person.  Here.  Neither “Hey, I did this and lolz I was fine chill out” nor “Dude I took this and got soooooo fucking sick zOMG” are as important as recognizing the actual, clinical dosage of a substance that can hurt or kill you.  I’m not an anti-drug stick in the mud who’s trying to keep you from having fun.  But drug use is medicine, and medicine is chemistry, and chemistry works better if you bother to understand stuff first.  Graveyards are laden with people who thought “Oh, I’m sure this’ll be OK!”

Things to keep in mind:  The level of psychotropic compounds in various bottles and preparations of nutmeg vary widely.  People’s livers differ widely.  A guy named Aaron might take five bottles of Brand A and not get high nor sick.  Another guy named Brent might swallow two nuts and end up in the E.R., possibly with liver failure.

This is not propaganda.  These are not scare tactics.  Get high.  I don’t give a fuck.  Actually, I think it’s a good thing, when done right.  And, yes, it’s beyond fucked up that marijuana is illegal but downing nutmeg is allowed.  But there has never been a documented fatality (kids, that means “something that kills you”) from weed, and there have from nutmeg.  Don’t choose nutmeg.  As @Moeeeeeeee wrote, get some pot.

Huh.  Thank you.  I had no idea.

Two things for the readers:

1.  MAOIs are monoamine oxidase inhibitors, which I (unfortunately) know as someone who has been treated for depression for more than a decade.  This suppresses a liver enzyme necessary to metabolize a chemical that can have toxic effects when it builds up in your system, and can be found in cheese (as mentioned), chocolate, and red wine — but if you’re likely to be eating nutmeg as a high, you’re unlikely to have legal access to red wine, either.  Seriously, you can fuck yourself up.

2.  You know what else can fuck you up?  Trying to get high on nutmeg.  Gah.  Find a real hallucinogen, OK?  If you’re scared of being locked up for the safest hallucinations (cannabis), go to a drugstore and buy generic “Tussin” capsules — cough suppressants.  As a first-order approximation, anything that can suppress a cough reflex is going to be extremely pleasant to abuse, and while I’m not interested in the legal liability for derailing teenagers from the spice cabinet to FDA-approved cough therapies — I want to take this moment to derail teenagers from the spice cabinet to FDA-approved cough therapies.  NB: Not the under-the-sink cabinet, either.  Just be sure to clear 36 hours from your schedule.  Yes, your parents will be able to tell if you’ve taken handfuls of DXM capsules, but they’ll be able to tell when you’ve taken large amounts of nutmeg and you (literally) start psychotically attacking everyone around you because you (literally) think the world is about to end.  Or if you decide to huff, and they find you dead.  Guys, this is not a joke.  You get only one body, OK?

I guess at first it hadn’t started to effect me because about an hour later I went to bed and slept normally. I wonder if being asleep helped reduce the effects of it? Didn’t seem like it, I woke up feeling awful but didn’t have a care in the world. Except that I was going out shopping with my mother, but I just laughed at myself and continued trying to make myself feel better. I drank A LOT. I mean, like, 16 glasses of water. Maybe more. But that’s because of the damage being done to my kidneys.

So I went out shopping with my mum, I couldn’t help but tell her about what I did and how I felt. I can trust her very well. I looked in the mirror, my eyes were bloodshot and I felt drowsy but not really lethargic. My speech was extremely impaired, I felt like being drunk and having a double hangover at the same time.

Apart from my communication difficulties I performed pretty well.

At the end of the day (I was home alone) and I was still drinking large amounts of water but I was feeling noticeably better every few hours. I was feeling anxious and shivering and shaking a bit before my mother had phoned me. She googled the effects of nutmeg (trusting her) and read what I didn’t see before. She told me that I would have to go to the hospital, and with a lot of worry and frustration I gave in to the fact that I should see someone. So, the ambulance came and they had no idea about the toxic effects of nutmeg. They were just like “Nutmeg, isn’t that a spice?” so they phoned the poison center and took me to the hospital (dumbasses, well I guess I’m not one to talk).

I had a very high heart rate but my blood test results were fine, I was very happy with that. After being on a drip for the long and nearly sleepless night everything was back to normal. I actually felt great after the drip so everything turned out to be a positive experience in the end. I don’t suggest you do it though because it could be even more serious.

It would have still damaged my organs and had some long term effects. I’m not sure if I should worry greatly about the fact that I regularly feel short of breath, that’s what I’m trying to find information about.

i suggest non of you take this stupid ussles drugg
and just stick to cronic …  aka pot …

its better .. funner … easier to get into the blood and  everyone knows it and does it

U need to chill out.  Its just nutmeg.  You’ll have to eat like 25g or maybe 8-10 whole nuts to make yourself really get physically ill or ‘trip balls’ if thats what you’re into.

On to that other post….

Watching fear and loathing while tripping, like watching any movie while tripping, seems kind of silly to me.  Once I was on mushrooms and watched Star Wars Episode 2…it was a waste of time and felt very plastic and artificial as an experience.  Vision quests are to be a self-driven experience, possibly with a friend or shaman as a guide.  Being led around through someone else’s plot line might get you confused or upset, or worse; you might waste a good opportunity to grow spiritually. 

(one exception may be Dark Side of Oz or other video/music combinations, since you get to take away from it whatever metaphors work best for you personally.)

I think if people want to trip on nutmeg and approach it patiently, cautiously at initially low doses, they should.

The method we used was mix the fresh grinded nutmeg in water, stir, then down the drink as fast as possible. At the time, i was shaking becuase i wasn’t really sure what was going to happen to me. We timed it right that in 6 hours time (which at the time we had read it takes to kick in) would be the time we were out at night walking and talking to the streets. After we got back from school, we both took some more Nutmeg, this time i problery did 5-7grams, this time i neally puked.

Very quickly my eyes becasue blood shotted, and quite dry, and so was my mouth and throut.

Me and my friend then watched “fear and loathing to las vagas” which at the time fully mucked up my head, as the nutmeg made me quite dizzy (not sick dizzy) and really tired. The film lasted for ages it seemed. I only slightly remember  going out of the house, and some main parts on our adventure in our city. My imagination was over the limit, this one point, on a shop wall, there were like lines on it, and my friends told me that i was saying that i thought it was a gun point, where in the second world war, they used to shoot out of  at the tanks on the other side of the road. It all got slightly weird after that, can’t rememeber, but at the time i was having fun. 

Some how we got home, we walked home some time pffft… dunno, and i rememeber just sitting on the arm chair, and when i closed my eyes, it felt that  my body was moving, not me thinking im moving, but i kept werving side to side, and i couldn’t stop my self.

I woke up next morning,  we the suprise that i though i didn’t go to bed, i felt fine lining in bed, but as i got out, my whole face went complete num. It was the weirdest feeling EVER. i didn’t eat or drink much as my friend stated that you don’t want to eat/drink much incase it has a chemical reaction to nutmeg. So i couldn’t sick, so i didn’t feel sick.

My experiance of nutmeg was alright, as that if i got court by the police, then they couldn’t arrest me becuase they would of though i that i have been taking weed or something, but no its nutmeg.

Im not sure if i will take it agian, the good thing about it that it makes your feel weird, its legal, cheap and you don’t smoke it…

the BAD things about it is that the effects are still vary with people to people, some people have been in coma’s becuase of it, had fits, Nutmeg is a poison too at high levels, the dye eyes and mouth was quite irratating, but i could of got some eye drops or something.

To be honest, who ever reads this, i don’t think you should take Nutmeg, just leave it out, it’s not worth the pain for the effect it gives. I tierd it becuase well, im slightly stupid, but i have that “i’ve tried it, and got high off it” under my belt.

Just like to point out that im not a druggy, i have only taken one puff of weed before, it was stupid, becuase the effect was limited, i got drunk twice, and thats with a 2 year gap, so now you know where you stand with the nutmeg. Becuase my other mate, who is quite into his shit took 25 grams of Nutmeg, and it had no effect on him,  im not sure that the shit he has taken got his body up a level which shitty drugs like Nutmeg just doesn’t make an effect or was it his size, i don’t know, but its not worht the coma.

so my english is not up to standards, but i thought i would share my expericance online to other who are thinking about nutmeg. Hope you learnt something from me and if you want any questions just email me and d4rk.z3r0n3@gmail.com, thanks
