Ok so I know it's dumb to get high off of stuff you find in your kitchen. I did a lot of research and apparently it can make you trip at certain doses. One night I was burnt out on weed with nothing to do, so I decided I'd try it. I ate like 3 tablespoons of that shit, downed it with some water. I felt fine for a while but after an hour or so I felt REALLY stoned. Like I smoked 5 bowls stoned. I didn't even feel sick or anything I had none of the bad side effects that many ppl get from nutmeg. After a while it felt weird to walk. And every time I closed my eyes I fell into a pool of thoughts, and when I opened them, I literally felt like I went into a portal back into reality. it was kinda scary to open my eyes at first cuz when i did, i heard this weird noise like i had re entered reality. i seriously cannot explain it clearly at all. As I tried to sleep I looked at my couch and kept seeing the designs on it move. I knew this wasn't placebo I was really havin some light hallucinations. I felt so relaxed but yet I couldn't sleep for a while. also some closed eye visuals. I woke up this morning feeling fine. it wasn't a bad experience, I actually enjoyed it. anyone else have some nutmeg stories they wanna share? EDIT: the following day (today) I still had that light stoned feeling, but i wasnt having hallucinations of any kind. i was a little bit forgetful, at one point i forgot i had already taken a shower and done the dishes. i feel very calm and peaceful as of now, i also smoked some good bud so it enhanced the feeling. i am going to go meditate today and see how that goes, im rly in the mood.
Idk if I would try nutmeg personally. I've read some stories on Erowid about people who trip hard on it like a Datura trip and do all sorts of wacky things.
yeah it's not something i want to do often, just once in a blue moon. i didn't mention this but i tried the nutmeg high a couple more times last week. every time i've done it, i have a pretty good trip/high. nutmeg can be dangerous for many people, but for me it doesn't affect me in that way. the high takes a while to kick in, but just be patient cuz once it hits you, it hits you. it's definitely not good for you though, another reason why it's not something id want to normally do. it was a wonderful experience though, almost spiritual, like i connected to a glowing side of myself i often leave ignored. it was definitely a mind trip.
I used to get the fresh, unground nutmeg and eat two of em. At moderate doses it was actually a very pleasant experience for me. Always interesting and it lasts fucking forever, sometimes as much as two days (though obviously not at the peak the whole time). After reading about how taxing it is on the body and mind, though, I figured I'd best stay away.
I tried it a few times when I was in my teens about a decade ago. Like people say, it is very similar to being stoned on weed except that it lasts about a day or more. Since it takes over 6 hours to kick in I would take some at night before falling asleep and wake up stoned. Though it is usually classed as a deliriant I didn't find it to be anything like anticholinergic drugs like dph or similar drugs with all the imaginary people, spiders and phantom cigarettes. However, one particular hallucination that I got each time I did it was that when I looked at the leaves on a big enough tree, the leaves would form into the long neck and head of a brontosaurus eating from the tree, but I knew it was a hallucination unlike atropa compounds where you're inclined to believe in it. Aside from that the visuals I got from nutmeg were pretty light, making everything look sharp and staticy, swirling and shimmering. People often mention it having a long, odious hangover which I was lucky enough to avoid, aside from just feeling vaguely burned out and lethargic.
I don't think I'll be doing it again, but it's really not as bad as people make out and has some value as a drug. Though since the majority of people report a long lugubrious hangover, maybe I just got lucky.
