theghostofbillhicks said:14 years old. Swallowed down a whole bottle of nutmeg from mum's spice drawer. Cue hours of puking into, at first, kitchen sink, and later, kitchen floor.
Mum comes home to find me passed out on kitchen floor, lying in sick and, rather mysteriously, having removed all of my clothes.
The shame.

Nutmeg can lead to death.
"Acute Toxicity. Ingestion of five or more grams of nutmeg causes acute nutmeg poisoning, which includes giddiness, hallucinations, and feelings of depersonalization. Symptoms usually appear three to six hours after ingestion of 1-3 whole nutmegs or 5-15 gm of the grated spice. Recovery usually occurs within 24 hours. Nevertheless, duration of action may extend beyond several days and even include death."
(Painter et al., 1971; Green, 1959.)
Myristcin can cause organ damage, liver, and brain lesions.
"Acutely toxic doses of myristicin can cause organ damage. Cats were especially sensitive to myristicin, exhibiting central excitation followed by coma. Oral administration of myristicin at 400 mg/kg to cats caused fatty degeneration of the liver. Rabbits and guinea pigs administered a subcutaneous (sc) dose of myristicin developed brain and liver lesions and metabolic derangement."
(NLM, 1997).

phishy2 said:where did u get the info that nutmeg is a carcinogen???
i thought this too, but i could just never find it in writing.
Safrole is a known mild hepatocarcinogen. Although
safrole itself is not carcinogenic, it is metabolized to form
1'-hydroxysafrole which is carcinogenic. Data are not
available on the carcinogenicity of nutmeg itself.
Ekstasis-//7 said:but my questions is where's the psychedellic effects? Like where's the insights? Or "triping" feeling where your thoughts seem to go somewhere on there own? Or visuals... where are they? I get visuals and auditary halucinations quite often from a little weed and quite often nice closed eye visuals and good insights with MDMA... both of these are considered only mildly psychedelic substances. So I don't need tell you that with the other strong psychedellics I def know I'm trippin. Yet I've got nothing psychedellic from nutmeg... I don't understand how people can say it is.
