Tried that shit as a teenager and I couldn't get out of bed for a full 24 hours. Felt like the worst flu of my life. The only thing even close to a "high" was the extreme tunnel vision I got when I tried to stand up. It was so bad that I couldn't even sit up to watch The Price is Right. Had no choice but to sleep it off. Scared me away from drugs so badly that I didn't even try weed or alcohol until I was well into my 20s. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] AllNewTypeFace@leminal.space 5 points 1 year ago That’s probably why it’s still legal permalink fedilink source parent [+] Nemean_lion@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) [removed by mod] permalink fedilink source parent [–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children) IIRC when I took it recreationally itwas many many grams to get to the hallucinations part. It was hard to stomach. Unless the safety profile is pretty narrow I'd say it would be difficult to complete suicide with nutmeg. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] philpo@feddit.org 4 points 1 year ago Sadly the hallucination effect does not correlate with the toxicity,especially the hepatotoxicity with nutmeg.. You can absolutely kill of your liver and die an agonizing death a few days later and have no hallucinations at all. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago (1 child) You teste it or put it in a pill or pouch or something? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] WhiteOakBayou@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago Parachuted some and mixed some with milk. I wouldn't recommend. Nothing worth possibly dying over. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Ziggurat@jlai.lu 2 points 1 year ago It's funny because I am cooking with nutmeg, and was saying that. A quick search tells me that you can have hallucination from 15g of nutmeg. However, with the strong taste, sounds like a good netty bad poison permalink fedilink source parent
