Can you smoke nutmeg like marijuana? Will it have a drug-like effect?

Taken in high doses, nutmeg can be quite intoxicating, partly because it's similar in chemical makeup to MDMA. Nutmeg causes symptoms such as stupor, drowsiness, delirium and sleep. Many prison inmates have known about it and used it for years, which is why most prisons have banned the use of this spice! About 14 grams (two tablespoons) taken by mouth cause a rather unpleasant, dreamlike "trip". Other symptoms include a rapid heartbeat, dry mouth, and thirst. Agitation, apprehension, and a sense of impending doom may last about 12 hours, with a sense of unreality persisting for several days. Nutmeg contains five to 15 per cent myrista oil, which is responsible for the physical effects. About four per cent is Myristicin, which is structurally similar to mescaline. (Mace, the exterior covering of the Nutmeg seed, also contains the hallucinogenic compound myristicin). Elemicin is another potent psychoactive ingredient in nutmeg. Similar to SSRI antidepressants such as Prozac, Myristicin blocks the release of serotonin from brain neurones. Scientists believe that once the substance enters the body it's converted to methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) -- ecstasy.

nutmeg is fuckin tight bitches people have compared it to pot, heroin, and alcohol. personally i take nutmeg b4 i go 2 sleep at night cuz it takes a solid 6 hours to kick in completely and wake up with eyes so red ppl think i stayed up all night smokin chronic. make sure ur schedule is cleared for 36 hours if u take it. 0.75-1.25 grams per 10 lbs of body mass roughly. start slow dont be dumb and eat half a bottle right off the bat.and get a fuckin scale to weigh it out respect it yall. its a strong drug and if u dont respect it. it WILL fuck u up the asshole 10 times straight and splurge on ur face. trust me.

I guess you could call me a nutmeg person. I have taken it around 10 or 11 times in the last year and love it. At first, I only take about a tablespoon or so at about 11:30 am. then i wait till about 6 or 7 pm and the drug starts to kick in. The first few times you try it, the effects are a little like being drunk or "almost" high on weed. Then after about 3 or 4 times using it you will start to be able to trip hard, ive even seen shit. Now when i take it, it only takes about 3 to 4 hours to kick in and i trip like a motherfucker, i now prefer it over weed even. Only problem is that you have to plan yoru day around it. Dont take it past 1:30 pm and be prepared to feel it for a little bit the next day. peace.

It was a first time for me today, and it definitely had an effect. I grated a few nutmegs into a bowl. I took approximately a tablespoon and a half at first, mixed with hot chocolate (wouldn't recommend it to anyone else). I took another teaspoon about 2 hours later, this time just straight and I chased it with a few milk duds and reese's cups (haha).

Any time I looked at wood grain (cabinets, hard-wood floors, etc.), it seemed to be moving and waving after just 2 hours or so. I began to feel groggy and very relaxed. At about 5 hours, I was finally able to sense my own wastedness and admit that I was on a trip. I actually enjoy it more than pot and like that I'll finally be able to sleep tonight. The feeling does stick around, so heed people's advice and plan your day around it.

P.S. It is very easy to have a bad trip if you're worried about overdosing and being paranoid in getting busted (DON'T DO TOO MUCH! 2 Tablespoons MAX!). A good trip requires a positive attitude, relaxed settings, and maybe some calm tunes. If you start seeing things, don't freak out and just remember that you took nutmeg. That's the best way to approach it I believe.

DO NOT EAT, SMOKE,OR SNORT NUTMEG!!!!! It is the worst high i ever got. It is disgusting! I threw up twice will trying to eat the nutmeg-it deont even taste bad but in lare quantities it feels like you are eating fucking sand! Just don't be cheep and go buy some real druggs cause nutmeg is a rediculous alterintive.-----It is true that it has diferent on diferent people, as do all drugs, but the chances of it working are slim. If you choose not to take my addvice and are desperite, just remeber you have to take ALOT about 1/3 of a bottle (roughly 12 grams). PLEASE HEED MY WARNING AND FIGHT FOR THE LEGALIZATION OF MARIJUANA!

You can smoke nutmeg if you wish, but it won't have any effect, so it seems kind of pointless to do so.

Nutmeg is generally ingested. Apparently it's not a great high. Here's what one experimenter says: "Nutmeg intoxication did not seem particularly euphoric in any way or pleasing to me. This may be why nutmeg remains legal and why few people, given alternatives to nutmeg, choose nutmeg anyway as a recreational drug. The nutmeg high more strongly resembled flu than a marijuana high as others have claimed. I felt no pleasant sensations from this drug whatsoever, though conversely, I did not feel especially bad either. Mostly feelings of unease and nervousness dominated. I felt very eager to return to normal so that I could go to sleep. Nutmeg interrupted my ability to sleep."

yes dude, i smoked like 3 tablespoons in a paper and got soo tripped out! im still a little high and the trips were weird but enjoyable... i would suggest nutmeg as kind of a starter or a trainer before moving to weed

you can smoke marijuana like marijuana...guaranteed to have a drug like effect...just blaze..

so today was my first time trying it and it was disgusting but now i feel the trip starting to come.its 3:00 now and i did it at 1:30 so it will really start to kick in at about 6:45.but just to let you know that shit was disgusting even though I drank it with milk.Im only 12 and my cousin and i wanted to do something totally legal that would get us high he did two and a half table spoons i only did two an my best advice is the more you take and the more you get high the worse the hangover after.

ive tried nutmeg numerous times....here is my most recent expierience...


(all times are approxamate)
5:00 pm: i took 5 tbls of nutmeg.....i know i was taking a risk bc previously i only took 3 tbls and got moderately high....but it was EXACTLY the amount i was supposed to take....i weigh 130lbs....i took enough for a 200lb grown man.....

7:00 pm: i realized that my eyes felt dry and i had mild cottonmouth. i didnt feel "high" at all but i did feel lcalmer than usual.

9:00 pm: right now im just relaxed. i dont feel "high" but i am quiet tired. i go and lay down and fall asleep around 9:30ish

1:00 am: I wake up, now feeling quite high and call my girlfriend.....bad idea. I couldnt concentrate at all and my hearing was sharp. i was listening to theory of a dead man and it was louder than i could ever remember. i couild hear things i paid no attention to previously like bass, drums, and backing vocals. Standing up was out of the question.

2:00 am: My high peaked. I could close my eyes and imagine whatever i wanted and i would feel as if i was right there.....i dont remember much besides that.

the entire next day i didnt feel like doing much at all...i was calm...relaxed...but not quite tired

the NEXT next day i was feeling quite sore, but not much else.....

in other words:

not only CAN you get high off of nutmeg...but i am currently waiting for another batch of nutmeg to kick in.....

I would stick to putting it on eggnog.

You can, I think it takes about two bowls for most to feel anything. I am trying it right now to see what the high is like, it has a similar atomic structure to ecstacy, I never wanted to take it because street e has lots of impurifications.. such as meth.. for anybody who doesn't know meth is bad, it makes holes in your brain.
Ecstacy can be used for 'fun' or it can be used for religious or shamanic purposes, or for meditative purposes.
The same can be said for most drugs that grow from the earth ;p That is why I am smoking nutmeg so I can alter my meditation. My friend decided to smoke 2 bowls one night, and said the effects were euphoric in nature. Luckily he didn't have any of the negative side effects to boot. Such as constipation, drowsiness, vomitting, dizziness or extensive sleeping.

I noticed some comments/answers, one in particular. Which states smoking marijuana, leads to smoking a little crack, and then a little heroin.. Well this is true.. if you put a can in front of leads to smoki..
The same could be said about listening to music, listening to music can lead to smoking marijuana, which can lead to smoking crack, which can lead to you stabbing a prostitute and robbing her/him of his/her money, then buy more crack smoke it, and that can lead to impregnating your mother.. or the female version, having lesbian sex with your mother.....
Lol, smoking crack happens from being of a certain perspective, not from smoking marijuana.

I'm old school at my age, don't smoke anything that is illegal. The laws nowadays pertain to this as much as drinking and driving. Never touched the stuff and never will. Smoking marijuana goes on to a little crack, then heroin, then you brain gets fried.

According to the results of numerous experiments performed in my kitchen/bedroom, nutmeg whether ingested or inhaled will FUCK YOU UP haha, I found that after ingestion (usually mixed with milk and Ben & Jerry's cinnamon roll ice cream) about 2-3 TABLESPOONS will get you as baked if not more than some top shelf kush, I am still in the beginning stages of my experimentations on inhalation but after 2 bowl fulls I am beginning to fry out a bit more. May I also note, several websites have blown the effects out of proportion and keep in mind the number of propagandists that surround us, I haven't had any LSD like visions but the high is very comparable to that of Marijuana whether eaten or toked. Maybe I haven't nutmegged enough yet...ds

I love how people say it does absolutely nothing, when clearly there are side effects when you ingest or smoke it. I wouldn't prefer it over marijuana, but it will hold you off if your town is dry for a few days haha.

No Tastes Like Shit Ans Dont Get U High Ima Jus Stick To BEautiful Buddha

NO it doesnt do anything i ate 4 tablespoons and smoke 6 table spoons it didnt do anything at all. dont even try it its rough as hell.

Iv smoked it..it kinda gets me high but the effects do ware soon...I do get a little close to a weed-like High from it..

i never tried to smoke it but i have once snorted it and got sick and had that shit stuck up my nose but that was like 14 yrs ago.

I smoked a couple bowls of nutmeg 4 hours ago. and i don't feel high. im just gonna stick to bud

anyone that says it doesn't work I can't believe how ignorant you guys are I just emptied a lil tobacco out of my cigarette and replaced it with nutmeg I'm actually feeling high I'm about to smoke some more IF YOU WANT BETTER EFFECTS DO WHAT I DID or SMOKE A CIG USE THE ASH TO COVER UP THE HOLE IN A PIPE POUR NUTMEG ON TOP ABOUT HALF A BOWL AND SMOKE IT TO DA DOME!

if you possibly add it to your fav tobacco anythings possible lol

You can get high off nutmeg. Though I don't recommend it. I read awhile back in a random google that you could and decided to try it. I mixed 3 teaspoons with water (horrible taste when its by itself) then took 1/2 teaspon and mixed it with tobacco and smoked it. after about 2 hours I felt a bit off almost sick. then about 4 hours later i was a bit dizzy and thought i heard laughter all around me even though i was at my house alone with jazz playing. after that it got weird and i started seeing things darting around just out of my line of sight. and im being completely honest. Dont do it because it sucks and the hangover sucks too. its the equivelant of getting the flu and seeing a tranny shit a purple fetus. i went and bought a dub of weed the next day to forget the crap high i had the last on nutmeg. Nutmeg high: possible. Effect: crap. cheers to the assholes who get good highs from it.

shit i did it and wasnt impressed but didnt take much ether so idk i might try again today becasue im suspended and have nothin to do. i still like my pot better.

it sucks stick to bud!

it is fucking amazing i toke one toke on my friends bong and ive been high for 9 years i love it

it is fucking amazing i took one toke on my friends bong and ive been high for 9 years. i love it

Yea , u could try if u were Bored , But it would take alot ,and im sure its unplesant . Im not sure if Burning would Relases the intoxicating chemicals,try baking it like a Vaporizer , but i would try to extrac the chemicals if u could find out how, cuze all that nutmeg would ,be killer on ur lungs (or burn alot)

:affects , im not sure what it would do , i really dount that smoking it is close to smoking weed,
if it worked it could be like mild saliva, or somthing , but i Truly do not Know,,

:try looking up research on plants around were u live , like danra , or passion flower , or wild lettaus ,catnip, idk ,,

hope this helps

I just finished smoking a large bowl of fresh nutmeg that i ground up myself and yes it defiantly works very well... I feel like I just smoked a big blunt of some dank. I have found my alternative since I am on probation I cant smoke bud so this will work just fine...I used a water pipe that I made myself...that defiantly takes away the harsher taste...don't smoke the stuff that is already ground up just the fresh nuts is best...defiantly works...no trips though but that is okay, I like feelin stoned which I do right now

HOW TO SMOKE NUTMEG

Weed is the best creation on planet earth! Nutmeg is for pov ass bitches! Why dont you snort some cheerios and sniff Pam while your at it if you're too fucking cheap to buy real drugs! OH Did you know that if you drink soemone elses piss, you start trippin balls! Try it you fucking retards, and tell all your frinds! Give love to the reefer! PEACE!!!!!!

could u down the nutmeg with a little liquid and still get a good enough high? cuz eating the nutmeg by itself is a little rough. and another question, why cant u take nutmeg after 1:30 p.m.?

This is a hilarious thread! Go to a health food store or herb store and look for "00" size gel caps. They usually come in packs of 100 to 500. Dump your nutmeg onto a hard flat surface, and take half the gel cap and press it down into the pile a few times to pack it in. Repeat with the other half, but don't pack it tightly in the second half so you can assemble the pill easily. After you have about 12 to 20 pills made, wipe them off to make sure there isn't any nutmeg on the outer surface. Now you can simply swallow them one right after another without having the awful taste and texture to deal with (nutmeg sticks to itself, as well as your tongue and epiglottis, which is your dangly vomit switch at the back of your throat). If you take them a few hours before going to bed, when you wake up in the morning you will feel like you're flying, and it can actually gain in intensity for 6 more hours, before gradually coming down over the next day.

DO NOT DO IT!!! it is extremely toxic to your liver, and many young kids have had seizures and died from doing this already. A girl i go to school (college) with has a sister who works in an emergency room and has seen the deadly effects first hand. if you must get high why dont you just smoke pot? it may be illegal but lets face it, its really not hard to find and its physically impossible to OD on (meaning it is basically the only "drug" known to man that cannot kill you no matter how much you smoke)

ok im hanna try the nutmeg in the cig and see what happons and i will brb

i have tried it once or twice. its an ok high bu the main problem lies in ingestion. 2 be honest it tasted horrible. its basically like eatin baby powder. if ur cheep and dnt wanna buy ani weed and can stomache it. have fun. if u throw it up however you will have to eat it again.. not pleasant. i tried smokin it.. still tasted like shit... try keepin toothpaste or mouth wash on your tounge will it feels numb. taste will be reduced. have fun kids

Well on wikipedia it says that when ingested in the human body, the chemicals in nutmeg create MDMA. Otherwise known as ecstacy. So I can't see how it WOULDN'T make you trip. Only thing is, it said it takes 6 hours to peak. So yes it will definitely cause a trip like sensation, and it also contains mild to medium hallucinogens. So good luck, should definitely work.

I tried it like a joint first and I had to keep lighting it, so I put it in the bowl and it smoked, but again wouldn't stay lit like pot. I smoked the 1 bowl and felt nothing so I gave up b/c I'd have to smoke like 15 bowls to reach 1 tbsp. I just scraped the bowl for resin...weed is so much better.

ok for the doubter's i know it sound's stupid.. but the fact's about it are there.. and it is true.. because of the oil it contains it can give you a trip..if digested in any way...all though it can kill you if you smoke to much.. i have tried it before... smoked it.. did not work for em at all.. tasted like shit... what i did was put 3 table spoons in a shot of shot of coke... the soda / pop what ever you want to call it... not the drug... and i did it like a shot real fast i thought it would taste gross but it wasent as bad as i thought it was.. i then stayed up all night waiting for the high to come.. it then hit me hard... it was the same feeling i get when you take a package of coraciden pill's( a cold med for diabetics) you can get it at walmart it is in the purple box the other ones won't work.. but it will give you a trip you have to take an intire package

have you noticed alomst ALL of the people who answered this Q, are at level 1? And you have 71 answers...

Im scared...point blank.

Putting three or four table spoons of nutmeg into a cup of tea isnt so bad.. I dont know if anything will happen.. But I just tried it less than 30 seconds ago.. But my tounge is numb.. Thats all I can say.. So what other house hold products get you high...? Ha Im just kidding... But I wasnt when I was searching around in my house for something to get me high.. But I also dont want to harm myself... So Im trying simple tricks that will hopefully work.. :) Anyone who wants to get desperatally high... Dont do anything stupid. :)

weed is the best creation on earth. nutmeg is for fucking pov ass beatches! y dont you inhale some fucking Pam while your at it if you are to fucking cheap to buy real drugs!

yeah dude.... i just smoked like two bowls and im blazed, it has the same effects as marijuana only u feel more tired but still get the munchies!
i can see myself doing this again, only i want to mix it with wormwood hash and poppy seeds... call it sheeb. haha that'd b cool. sorry, im really high! that proves that SMOKING NUTMEG GETS U HIGH!!!

Just to add my two-cents worth; I am a very regular weed smoker, to the point where 3 or 4 days without makes me extremely irritable. I don't "recommend" nutmeg as a drug. However, if you don't have a problem with placebo effect (some people don't want to be 'fooled') nutmeg does the trick when smoked. Not a lot of it, I would say 2 or 3 small bowls at the most. It doesn't make you trip out or anything when taken this way (I can't say what ingesting or smoking larger amounts will do) but as I say, if you can't find any weed, nutmeg will help stave off the psychological withdrawl. Be safe at all costs; large amounts of any foreign substance can be dangerous.

Everyones answers are different. So Im a little hesitant about tryting nutmeg.. But Im going to warm up a cup of water and put three table spoons of nutmeg and some tea together... and I really hope it works..:)

Ive tried to smoke it sometimes, and I sort of felt a little dizzy thats all. But never really smoked alot since its completely awfull... marijuana is healthy for your lungs in comparement. ;)

A better way is to eat it, or shall I say make tea of it. Boil water and just drop about 30g of it, and let it boil for 10 minutes. Tastes like shit, (worse than smoking) but I can reasure you that you will get a stoned feeling. Be prepared to do nothing the next day though.
