When getting high on nutmeg, is it best to smoke it, or eat/drink it?

Hello,
I am an herbalist and have studied and worked with herbs most of my life. Not only do I know what herbs make you high but, I also know that you shouldn't abuse them. Or abuse yourself with them. They were used by ancient apothecaries as medicines. Why would anyone want to get high to begin with? And would you all please, take into consideration that if some of you over dose on herbs , they will soon be banned and the herbalist and homeopathies who know how to properly use them will not be allowed to have them.There are those of us out in the real world who do not use prescription drugs because of the harmful side effects. We depend on these herbs for our survival. So, please, keep this in mind. Nutmeg is an herb but, it is indeed at the same time a narcotic but not problematic if used in minute doses for seasoning. It is a stimulant and also has an aphrodisiac affect. But, can be deadly if used in the wrong amounts. You must like with all drugs be careful with herbs. They aren't just weeds.

Drinking it with hot-chocolate should get you feeling pretty good.

What the??? Why would you wanna put a spice in your nose?...if you like that so much try crushed red pepper...that will have you thinking twice....;)

SMOKE WEED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Perhaps you should smoke pot instead.

I prefer mine on some eggnog

for the people who said smoke pot... why would he be asking this nutmeg question if he had pot. its obvious that the reason he's trying nutmeg is because he has no traditional drugs

you need to have a nutmeg enema, so it goes straight to your brain

I like it in Fondue

Smoke it. I mean, it's bad for you, but you won't get high consuming it.

Nutmeg, that piquant brown spice you sprinkle on egg nog, is chock full o' the organic compound myristicin. Eating four to eight teaspoons of ground nutmeg causes mild hallucinations, warmth in the limbs ...

The Downside

... dizziness, nausea, cottonmouth, paranoia, difficulty urinating and, the coup de grace, a hangover that feels like God taking a dump on your soul.

Some users compare the nutmeg "high" to a hellish case of the flu. To make things worse, nutmeg consumption is easily the most inconvenient way to get high--its effects kick in five to six hours after ingestion. That's like having to drink a six-pack at lunch in anticipation of happy hour.

Fun Fact

For those of you who who want to push your luck with nutmeg, don't worry. The FDA reportedly has no plans to raid your spice rack. Probably because they're assuming nobody is dumb enough to give it a go. Once you've crossed a certain threshold of stupidity where do you stop? You're going to have to start cracking down on spinning around in circles really fast and smelling your own burrito farts.

i ate it the other day and it took about 5 hours to kick in. i had mixed it with some limeade which didnt taste the best and only put about 1 1/2 tablespoons in it. i just kept laughing for like 5 minutes and just felt tingly all over. i think i need more if i ever do it again. my friend just felt really tired the whole time but we both got really red eyes. i know i had extreme cotton mouth and had to drink 4 bottles of water in 10 minutes. i would try it again but im gonna smoke it but to get to the point i didnt really get high off of it. Although i know people who have.

The taste really isnt bad to me but the tingling sensation is uncomfortable when taken by mouth, also to get the most effects, let the nutmeg sit in your mouth and pool up for a good 5 minutes, try to keep it in your mouth for as long as you can but atleast for 5 minutes before swollowing. Also you must plan your day before using nutmeg orally, word of advise, even to be safe, make sure the day afteer you take it you dont have anything todo because theres been multiple instances where a dose is taken and nothing happens, the next morning is fine then out of no where when your at the store or where ever you are the efects start to take hold, and this can make a very difficult experience. For smoking a smaller quanity, onset was alot quicker coming on within an hour and only staying for 45min. to an hour and a half. There was no euphoria, skin feels cold and slightly sweaty but besides that very comfortable slightly sedated, visual perseption is plesant simular to high dose of decent quality marijuana. Dont take my word on smoking nutmeg because i have yet to experiment with higher doses. I would have a cup of juice or water for/while doing either of these methods.

The best way is to snort it, it'll remind you of Christmas.

Nutmeg suppositories. You just shove them up your ....

It is best not to do it, if this is what you resort to for relief on life, look somewhere else.

To the person that answered "Smoke it. I mean, it's bad for you, but you won't get high consuming it." Did you even attempt to read the name of this web site? Every question deserves a great answer.The answer that you provided is neither great nor correct. I've never attempted smoking nutmeg (so I will not address that part of your statement) but I have ingested it many times and have gotten a green bud like high from it every time. I was in prison for quite some time and nutmeg is one of the best ways to get high and not worry about getting busted. I was approached one evening by an officer 'cause "my eyes were really red and I appeared "wobbly". He took a good look at me and told me that I looked stoned and sent me for a U.A. (urinalysis). When I got up to go get tested 'Mr. Brilliant' asks me "Why does it smell like spice cake in your cell?" The nutmeg was seeping outta my skin and he had smelled it on me, but I had eaten a lot of it that day (like almost two full measuring cups). N-E-WAYYYZZZ... I gotta give you 2 answers 'cause I got really long winded.

eat it. the high lasts longer and is way cooler.

i havnt heard to much about people smoking it. a really easy way to take it is put like 3 tablespoons in a glass of milk with a bunch of sugar and gulp it down. it isnt dry and it doesnt tast that bad. i am going on my 4th hour and havnt felt much yet but it doenst kick in till another hour and a half or so.i have heard people have had great highs off it so im stoked, but dont OD i heard to take .75 grams for every 10 lbs you weigh and i did about that (20 grams) . hopefully this stuff works.
oh and when ur drinking it keep stirring so it doesnt go down as chalky.

its not true and if you believe it your stupid. have fun feeling like shit.

Ya, because everyone wants to get high on nutmeg!
I am so hoping this is a joke because that was the most asnine question I have ever heard.
Someone is on something-could it be nutmeg?

I tried nutmeg for the first time last night. I haven't smoked marijuana for many years and I don't do drugs anymore. I am a thin 173 lbs.

Anyhow, I purchased an Oz of nutmeg nuts at a local herb shop. I ground them in the coffee grinder and sifted out the fine powder and measured off a tablespoon of the stuff. I put it in a bottle of Naked Blue smoothie and drank it. It was not bad at all.

I felt a mild sense of being high within about a half hour after consumption. I was totally alone for the night also. I don't care what anyone says. I definitely felt high, slightly paranoid and sensitive to various sounds after the first hour had transpired.

After 5 hour exactly, I was watching a movie. Increasingly I felt a discomfort in my chest. It took me a while to get sexually aroused but after about a half hour I finally got a serious erection. My imagination and my body were extremely sensitive and active. Masturbation was an unusually phenomenal experience.Sex would have been extra wonderful.

About 5 & 1/2 hours I was definitely feeling an increasing high. I felt restless and uneasy so I decided to go for a walk. It was about 10:00 pm. I was drinking water the whole time since I first drank the nutmeg. When I left for the walk, cottonmouth began to seriously manifest no matter how much I drank. I would pee for a long time.

A few minutes into the walk, I really started to fell the buzz. I would say I was tripping balls. At the time, I described it to myself as being comparable to having had smoked a blunt and taken a few hits of good acid at the same time. I didn't really hallucinate but there was definitely a mild visual effect that is impossible to describe. At about 10:30, I was staring at the sidewalk and I lost a sense of where I was. Everything reminded me of the neighborhood in the "Black Hole Sun" video. Every little noise grabbed my attention and often startled me.

At that point I began to feel distressed. I felt as though my heart was going haywire. I felt my chest was going to burst open. I felt my soul wanted to explode out of my chest. I felt that I was dying of poisoning. When these thoughts crept up I would rationally (as best I could) remind myself that I was just high and I did not ingest a lethal dose by any means. I continually had to redirect and control my thoughts onto pleasant things instead. Once saw a German Shepherd in someone's yard run my direction. I climbed up the first tree. Then I realized he was fenced in. Good thing no one was looking.

At about 11:00 I was truly battling to not fall down in convulsions, not have a heart attack, not go numb in my leg, not simply freak out and totally lose my mind. A lot of reassuring myself was very helpful. Walking seemed to occupy my body and mind and brig comfort. I walked for over 2 hours straight all over my area of town all alone at night. I kept thinking: "I am tripping balls! This is more intense than weed any day. I took too much. I hope I start to come down." There was no way I could have hidden my condition from anyone that I might have talked with. I would not drive in that condition at all unless I had to.

After 2 & 1/2 hours the high noticeably decreased to a more comfortable level. My eyes were super red and dry. I had to drink water and pee numerous times. I masturbated again and it was extra rewarding. I tried to watch to original Willie Wonka at about 11:30. I was able to doze off within about 1/2 hour. I did a lot of soul searching during my 2 hours of wandering the streets and parks blazed out of my gourd and paranoid.

I would not recommend doing that much nutmeg. Again, I am a thin 173 lb male who took a tablespoon of freshly ground organic nutmeg. If I were to do it again, I would cut the dose in half, or even less. I would also want to have sex while I was peaking at about 5 & 1/2 hours into it. I might do it with her and give us each a teaspoon or a milder dose.

The next day I was quite tired. I kept drinking enough water and avoided any head aches from dehydration. You must drink a lot of water. When digestive discomfort comes, stop moving for a minute and go drink a bunch of ginger too. This controlled the digestive discomfort people report. After 24 hours, I still felt a very mild buzz.

Nutmeg is very potent. Be very careful with it. Don't overdose just because you don;t feel much the first 4 hours. It will lynch you about 5 hours into it.

This stems from a 1970s article in Playboy that listed nutmeg as containing an alkaloid that was a hallucinogen. Burning it (smoking) would detroy the hallucinogenic compound and to isolate the compound would take a solvent and refinement approach. This compound could them be released into the blood stream via a variety of methods including snorting, holding under the tougue or swollowing.
Ingesting nutmeg (eating) would also release the hallucinogen into the blood stream.
Unfortunately to obtain enough of the hallucinogen to have a psychoactive would require solvent/refinement processing of 2 to 5 pound of nutmeg and there is little promise that other alkaloids with potential fatal reactions would not also be present.
Since ingestation is less efficient at extracting specific compounds, I would suggest eating 3 to 5 pounds and I promise, you will be sick, very sick.
I once had a friend that poured an entire tin of nutmeg into a large McDonals shake. He claimed to feel the effect. That was after he also smoke half a lid and had about ten shots of Jack Daniels.
Bottom line, this doesn't work unless you can get a qualified chemist to extract a single compound from a extremely conmplex organic substance.

seriously! why would u try and get high off of nutmeg! haha there are so many other drugs out there that are easy to get ahold of and u go for nutmeg....WTF??? haha XD

i figured i give nutmeg a sample try i poured some into glass then some choclate milk mix then add milk and stirred about a couple hours later i felt buzz and when i went to bed i had dream of these purple things shoot out of the ground in like a metropolis kinda of city it was pretty good gonna try a higher doasage later

i musta have eaten at least 6-8 tablespoons and i got nothin,i think im immune,i have a slight buzz but thats it and its nothing at all really,anyway i dont recommend this stuff unless you get the really potent kind,but other than that i didnt feel anything from any of my attempts,im up to 3 now,and im pissed,but just dont be mad if it dosent work for you cause it didnt for me.

ive never heard of anyone smokeing the stuf but the best way to take it is to put in capsules and like milkhoney said start out small as it may overwehlm you and make you panic like hell

You eat it or drink it, and you should plan to have several days free, since it can take half a day to feel anything, and you may feel weird for several days. Also, it can cause liver and blood problems, as it's slightly toxic. Go to erowid, do lots of research, start small, and don't be surprised if you don't enjoy it. Most things that are legal and get you high aren't as fun as you expect them to be. That's why they aren't illegal. You don't see teenagers hanging in the spice aisle for a reason.

Me neither, this guy "Ruffryder" is on here every day answering as many questions as possible just to raise his standing....Im giving him negative votes for his answers that he obviously never even thought about.

taking into consideration theres tons of spices and some mastermind landed on nutmeg and spread the word? chyea it works. it takes alot of time though to work. so when ur talkin to ur mom expect to get half retarded outta nowhere....they said it was nutmeg O.o

The best option is a mace wchich is dryed and powdered sheath of nuteg fruit.
It is more potent than nutmeg itsef, high is become earlier after about 3 hours and acts shorter up to 24h in the case of nutmeg it can be even 48h. MACE have got more accetable taste than nutmeg as well.
I am usually make an infusion to have an effect earlier.
You can smoke it but it is very unplesant smoke and you need a lots off. Mace works the best freshly grinded.

But be carefull since me like an effects of mystyrisicine (it is an active ingredient of mace and nutmeg) some people can find it so strong and wreid - one of my coleagues experienced "going out from the body" (he explained later that he get up from the bed but his body was still left on the bed) what make him panic and then he told everything to her mother who made him a herbal tea for sweat off - it was helpfull.

Uh, you eat it, obviously.
or put it in a drink.
You'd need two spoonfuls of it.

Wow, I just mixed a tbsp Of ground nutmeg into half a bottle of dels liquid lemonade, ehh I'm jumpy and twitchy now which is way off the norm for me, I'm only 13, so I'll probably get hit twice as hard haha, as for enjoyment opon consuming, the stuff tastes like shit, and I've alrdy downed two glasses of water. I'll keep you filled in.

NUTMEG a common food now used to get high!

Egg nog with a little bit of nutmeg is great and maybe some on ice cream but if you eat to much you may get high off of this food we have used for thousands of years and now modern society is telling people not to do this or do that like early when all drugs first come out and the people who created them think they are safe , yes this is true for some but not others. Cocaine was used as a medical drug in the late 1800s and early 1900s and became illegal due to the effects the drug had. Now we have invented drugs that may even be more dangerous that can cause unwanted effects. Nutmeg is now being used for a high that causes unpleasant side effects. The nutmeg high causes flu like symptoms , hallucinations , dizziness , faster heartbeat , constipation , nausea and panic. The effects start about 6 hours after ingestion and the effects can last for days.

eat

I smoked nutmeg before, i smoked like 5 joints nd i was MABEY just starting to get buzzed ohh n it tastes like your smokeing steak... = D so gl on gettin high any way possible peeps-----

Man i don't know if an immune or something but that shit didn't work. I tried it yesturday and i waited 6 hours to feel an affect but nothing happened.

DOOO dooo BRowN111111111111111111111

I just try this a couple of weeks ago... I smoked it, and drank it mixed in milk. It made me SICK the next day... I probably never gonna try it again. I advise you not too...

As I read through these comments I have come across some very disturbing information. For those that say to smoke nutmeg you are very dumb. A Nutmeg high overdose can lead to cancer and other very serious and very dangerous side effects. Check out my site, nutmeghigh.com for more information

just stick to weed

I believe that it is best to use it as a rectal suppository. Using a whole nutmeg.

bro u are a fuckwit herbalist fuck

i jus smoked a gram nd drank 3 tbspn of it i never tried it but ive heard alot bout it nd the weed is nowhere to be found >.> or spice,super harsh smoke im usually the 1 laughin at ppl coughin their tits off but i hav to say i coughed a couple times lol , im 14 5'6 118 lbs hope i get FUCKED UP BIATCHH :P

eat it. and don't, it's awful in terms of taste, the "high", and the hangover.

i took about 2 table spoons full of it straight about an hour ago but i used the pre grounded one so im not sure if it will work but im hoping it does

if you smoke it you will get the effects faster but it wont last as long. if you eat it it will take longer to kick in but will last longer once it does kick in.

nutmeg is great to get high whit but onely wen u SMOKE IT

If you wanna get high...go by some Sour Diesel, or some Ak47... Silly kids Nutmeg is for baking !
