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.
Comment on Is it possible to eat a toxic amount of culinary herbs/spices?
neidu3@sh.itjust.works 15 hours agoHow much are we talking? Are there any documented suicide by nutmeg?

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.

You teste it or put it in a pill or pouch or something?

Parachuted some and mixed some with milk. I wouldn’t recommend. Nothing worth possibly dying over.

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

2 to 3 teaspoons is lethal. 1.5 to 2.5 will get you high though. I don’t recommend it as you can see there is an overlap.

Lol. The only “high” I got when I tried it was flu-like symptoms. Do not recommend.

Same. 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.
Scared me away from drugs so badly that I didn’t even try weed or alcohol until I was well into my 20s.

That’s probably why it’s still legal

Yah, that seems to be there concensus.
