There was a big Saturday night rave occuring (big by Brisbane's standards
|
|
anyway)My friend and I due to being short of money were unable to buy any
|
|
chemicals so we decided to give nutmeg a whirl.We wandered up to the local'healt
|
|
health food store where we purchased two different types of nutmeg.
|
|
The whole nutmeg was then ground down to a fine powder.I decided to try
|
|
the batch from Indonesia while my friend opted for the stuff from Sri Lanka.
|
|
My Indonesian Nutmeg was of a lighter colour where my friend's was a dark
|
|
rich colour.This was the main reason he chose it, he later stated.
|
|
We both consumed it at 6.30 pm since I had read on the network that it took
|
|
up to 5 hours to come on. Bullshit to say the least , after the consumption
|
|
of 3 tablespoons each I started to feel a bit drunk within 20 minutes.
|
|
Within 1 hour I felt really drunk, my speech was slurred , I could not walk
|
|
in straight line and generally felt fucked.What was I going to feel like
|
|
in 4 hours? This thought scared me.One hour passed and I started to feel more
|
|
energetic , the phone rang and I answered it knowing it would be my friend.
|
|
My friend was on the line telling me he felt really stoned and had totally
|
|
lost it in front of his parents just previously.Since I would be meeting him
|
|
in about 1 hour I got ready to go.When I arrived at his house to go to the
|
|
rave I was feeling darn good. The nutmeg was acting like virtually every
|
|
drug I have ever taken. I had all the effects of alcohol , the increased
|
|
confidence as well as all the others. My thought process changed as well
|
|
with me coming up with some weird abstract shit, that always happens when
|
|
I have a smoke.By about 10 pm I was peaking, I was having mild hallucinations
|
|
and quite good ones if I closed my eyes. Nutmeg was also a very funny drug
|
|
My friend and I were laughing uncontrollably and could not get into the music
|
|
as much as we have liked to. I started dancing but had to quit since I was
|
|
laughing at people on the dance floor. I quit before I got my head kicked in.
|
|
By 12 pm the spin was just as intense as it was 2 hours earlier , and my
|
|
face started to show the signs. My eyes were so red and I could not keep them
|
|
open , I generally looked wasted.My friend was doing unreal , he was sitting
|
|
in a corner laughing hysterically looking like an asylum patient.
|
|
By 2 am the intensity had not declined and I was getting really tired of the
|
|
spin. Minutes later my friend ran out of the rave with me following as soon
|
|
as possible. I managed to see him throw up and pass out.(NO shit)
|
|
I thought this was going to last as long as LSD but I was wrong , the nutmeg
|
|
spin lasted longer.I left the rave at 6am still spinning off my dial.My
|
|
friend was still outside although he had crawled 10 metres to be found
|
|
sleeping under a tree.The next day was a blur as had been the night before.
|
|
My friend who is postman , did not go to work on Monday. Took an extra
|
|
2 hours to do his run on Tuesday(Got in huge trouble) and rode his bike
|
|
into an embankment on Wednesday spilling all the mail onto a main road.
|
|
He did not straighten up until Friday. I was completely straight on
|
|
Tuesday.All in all I quite liked nutmeg but hte intensity was too much,
|
|
the feeling generated could not be defined, but fucked comes in to mind a lot
|
|
I think I will stick to E's but they are damn hard to come by lately.

The Natural Highs FAQ made Nutmeg sound like a substance
|
|
definitely worth avoiding, but after talking to a friend of mine, I
|
|
decided to give it a try. It didn't do much, but I was extremely groggy
|
|
for the remainder of the following day (something I didn't relate to the
|
|
Nutmeg for quite some time)...
|
|
|
|
I didn't give up, however, and I decided that I had a neat
|
|
alternative to watching the Super Bowl... I kept a little account of
|
|
what happened - it reads as follows:
|
|
|
|
January 31, 1993 -
|
|
|
|
4:35 P.M. : I toss enough nutmeg in my mouth to make closing
|
|
it difficult (due to a snap of the wrist that was a bit more zealous
|
|
than I'd planned). Ice water as a chaser (that -has- to be relatively
|
|
safe).
|
|
|
|
5:05 P.M. : Another 3/4 tbsp or so, and water.
|
|
|
|
5:20 P.M. : Felt like about a tablespoon this time. I've been
|
|
eating quite a few itty bitty rice cakes, due to hunger.
|
|
|
|
5:35 P.M. : Effectively finished off my bottle of nutmeg... I
|
|
barely coaxed down 2 more mouthfuls of about 1/2 tbsp each. Let's
|
|
assume about 3.75 tbsp over the past hour.
|
|
|
|
6:13 P.M. : Mild headache
|
|
|
|
8:00 P.M. : Slightly dizzy, especially when walking.
|
|
|
|
8:51 P.M. : Unbelievably dizzy, and my hearing is indefinate.
|
|
I feel soooo heavy. I am sinking constantly, and my vision is slowed.
|
|
Neat. Pleasant. Relaxed.
|
|
|
|
9:08 P.M. : Same as above, but I am spinning, also. This is
|
|
still very relaxing and peaceful. My head is swimming especially, and
|
|
my motions feel much different than I am used to - sort of as if the
|
|
motions are dragging behind the limbs that are moving.
|
|
|
|
9:20 P.M. : Just got off telephone - my short-term memory is
|
|
virtually nonexistant - I couldn't repeat something I'd said 10
|
|
seconds ago. I had been watching Acidwarp, and - wow. It was
|
|
unbelievable. Somehow my vision seems amplified. I noticed patterns
|
|
I'd never seen before, and I felt like I was "in" many of them. I am
|
|
spinning in 10 ways at once, slowly. On my way to bed.
|
|
|
|
|
|
February 1, 1993 -
|
|
|
|
6:05 A.M. : I wake up, with a bit of a headache, and a mild
|
|
spinning sensation. I'm a bit tipsy, a little less balance than I'd
|
|
like, but I'm not moving inefficiently.
|
|
|
|
6:06 P.M. : Almost all the effects are gone, I had cottonmouth
|
|
pretty bad all day, and I was weak - not tired, but weak, and my head
|
|
was never quite still. Not at all unpleasant, just a bit of an
|
|
inconvenience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
I went back and edited that a tad, because a few of the errors I made
|
|
were embarassing - I dropped some punctuation, spelling, even a word or
|
|
two...
|
|
|
|
Anyhow, I really enjoyed this. I used pre-ground nutmeg, bought
|
|
relatively recently... It's not something I plan to use regularly, but
|
|
I have some whole nutmeg I plan try try freshly-ground... I've also
|
|
heard good things about mixing it with mace. I never felt sick, apart
|
|
from certain times during the hangover on Monday (I had P.E. that day at
|
|
school - somewhat nasty, I'll admit.)
|
|
|
|
For thsoe of you that missed it, "Acidwarp" (which I referred
|
|
to) is this wonderful PC VGA kaleidescope program written by Noah
|
|
Spurrier. I always liked it, but I am definitely glad I thought to
|
|
watch it while I was on the nutmeg. Also - I went to sleep listening to
|
|
music (Skinny Puppy, actually..) That was nifty, as I heard things
|
|
differently. Most of the new things I heard were in the higher ranges,
|
|
which made the entire CD sound different. I noticed some spoken words
|
|
I'd never heard before and can't find again - either they're not meant
|
|
to be heard consciously, or I was putting it there myself.
|
|
|
|
The only unpleasant part of this at all was the hangover, and
|
|
that was even kind of nice - it was refreshing to have something to do
|
|
at school... I found that I felt as if I was falling, most of the time.
|
|
If I leaned to the side, I kept going that way for quite some time. If
|
|
I leaned to the left, and then the right, I kept falling in both
|
|
directions for quite some time. I would have to say that this was, all
|
|
together, a positive experience. Anyone else have a story to share?
|
|
|
|
=============================================================================
|
|
|
|
I tryed Nutmeg a few months ago, about 3 Tb worth all at once with a cold
|
|
milk to wash it down. Took about 2 hours to kick in and felt like a big
|
|
pot buzz but with the dizzyness one gets after drinking too much, very
|
|
prone to giggle at one point. I have no visuals like say LSD but I did
|
|
seem to like to view colorful patterns (this book on fractals I have was
|
|
nice to look at) my short term memory was impared, but not too extreme
|
|
|
|
The next day I was in a daze, if any of you out there ever want to try
|
|
this make shure it's a friday, vacation, or you have extra sick days
|
|
because I wouldn't suggest you go to work/school after doing nutmeg I
|
|
had school the next day, real lousy like walking in your sleep, It wasn't
|
|
bad per say, but way too much thinking and walking then I was in the mood
|
|
for.
|
|
|
|
but overall I give nutmeg a thumbs up, didn't feel sick once, well I felt
|
|
ill downing it though .. very icky, the high has it's nice points and
|
|
when it was over no trouble getting to sleep (prepare to CRASH hard after
|
|
wards, and sleep like a log) unlike acid
|
|
|
|
have fun
|

I've tried nutmeg once, years ago. Clueless as to how much my friend and
|
|
I took, but we tried it with everything; water, milk, soda, straight, and
|
|
it tastes like shit no matter how you take it. Afterward...nothing. The
|
|
night went by and nothing happened. However, when I woke up in the
|
|
morning, the walls were breathing for several minutes. My friend reported
|
|
spider webs covering the floor of the classroom he was in. Other than
|
|
that...nothing.
|
|
|
|
My two cents...it's not worth it.
|
|
|
|
Safe and happy travels.

Peace

Hey - whoever's been posting things here that said Nutmeg can get you fucked up
|
|
was full of shit. i ate 8 whole nutmegs in two hours and 15 minutes -- the
|
|
last four i ate were in a ten-minute time span, and that was 2 hours and 20 minutes ago, and i haven't felt a thing. i wish people would post facts here, not
|
|
bullshit they heard from a FOAFOAFOAF. For all those curious out there, let me
|
|
save you from wasting your time. As for intoxicating effect, Nutmeg does
|
|
|
|
J A C K S H I T !!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
so don't bother.
|
|
|
|
|
|
btw, smoking banana peels doesn't do shit either :)

My Experience On Nutmeg
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I went to the local natural foods shop and bought a big bag
|
|
of pre-ground nutmeg. It was about 2 bucks and there was a lot.
|
|
My friend and I were doing this together -- we each got a glass
|
|
of water, put 2 tablespoons in, stirred up the water, and tried
|
|
to drink it. We realized it was hard to get down with one glass,
|
|
so we tried more, I forget how many it took. Let me warn everyone
|
|
that the stuff tastes like absolute shit and it is *impossible*
|
|
to eat without water -- I think when you put it in your mouth,
|
|
it absorbs a lot of water or something, so you can't produce any
|
|
saliva to swallow it... that's just a theory and I'm not really
|
|
sure. Anyways, by this point my friend got pretty sick to his
|
|
stomach -- luckily I felt no sickness.
|
|
|
|
About 3 hours later, the effects began. This was the second
|
|
major mind altering drug next to alcohol that I had done. I told
|
|
my friend that I was feeling something and he said it must be
|
|
placebo. I thought he might be right, but I realized as it got
|
|
stronger, no -- this was for real.. I was *definately* high. My
|
|
friend still didn't believe me. The high must have been comparable
|
|
to marijuana, however at that time, I hadn't tried pot yet, so I
|
|
can't be sure; but I remember losing concentration a lot and paying
|
|
too much attention to pointless things. We went into a video store
|
|
and I'd stare at a poster, and then realize that we were supposed
|
|
to be looking for a movie. We got What About Bob.. payed for it,
|
|
and started to walk home.
|
|
|
|
Still, my friend had no high, and he didn't for the rest of the
|
|
night -- I think I consumed a little more than him, because he was
|
|
to sick to have it all, but I don't think it was too much of a
|
|
difference. By this time, my high had grown a lot. My mind was
|
|
thinking in a network of thoughts; worthless thoughts that all
|
|
seemed to fit together; well, I can't say worthless because I can't
|
|
quite remember exactly what they were. But every 10 seconds I'd
|
|
have a new thought, and it would remind me of another thought I
|
|
just had, and another thought that reminded me of that, and so on..
|
|
these thoughts were linking together and forming some pattern, and
|
|
my mind was just thinking more and more and more thoughts..
|
|
|
|
I don't remember how long this lasted. I don't know if the next
|
|
stage was a continuum of this or if the thoughts went away. It's
|
|
been 2 years since the experience so I can't quite remember. But
|
|
by this time, we were home and the movie was plopped into the VCR.
|
|
As the moviewent on, I had no clue what was going on. No concept
|
|
of the plot at all. I didn't even know who Bob was. I tried to
|
|
focus on the movie, but my mind just *couldn't* -- it was impossible
|
|
to comprehend. My mouth was getting REALLY dry. I got a glass of
|
|
water (or my friend got it for me, can't remember), I'd drink it,
|
|
and once it was done my mouth wasn't any better at all. So I'd keep
|
|
drinking water -- to no avail. I was getting hot and sweaty. The
|
|
high now wasn't too pleasant.
|
|
|
|
I think the movie was over when I decided to go upstairs and go
|
|
to sleep (this was at my friend's house), but I can't remember. I
|
|
walked up the stairs... suddenly I was in his room (which is right
|
|
next to the top of the stairs) and then I was halfway up the stairs
|
|
and then I was in his room again -- it was like time was being
|
|
distorted.. imagine this:
|
|
|
|
my experience of time
|
|
<-------------------------------------->
|
|
Event A Event B Event C
|
|
|
|
the above is this clipping of me walking up and down the stairs had I
|
|
not been experiencing this time hallucination. Below is what I really
|
|
perceived -- with the hallucination.
|
|
|
|
my experience of time
|
|
<------------------------------------->
|
|
Event A Event B Event A Event C Event B
|
|
|
|
This time hallucination lasted about 15 seconds and was over.. INTENSE..
|
|
It freaked the hell out of me! (Scientifically, what happened, is that
|
|
I remembered the past events (being at the top, middle, or bottom of the
|
|
stairs) so vividly that my mind actually relived them -- I read about it
|
|
about a year later... can't remember the name for the phenomena)
|
|
|
|
So I ran downstairs as fast as I could and told my friend. He helped
|
|
me walk upstairs so nothing would happen like me passing out and rolling
|
|
down the stairs and breaking my neck or something (exaddurated).. I went
|
|
upstairs and lay down... ahh...
|
|
|
|
And then.. in the background.. there was this feeling.. no, a sound,
|
|
rather.. maybe a feeling... anyways it was this... "feelound" in the back
|
|
of my brain.. it gradually grew louder and more intense.. louder.. LOUDER..
|
|
And now it was so loud that it HURT my HEAD -- it got LOUDER and LOUDER
|
|
AND I COULDN'T STAND IT AND IT WAS SPLITTING MY BRAIN IN TWO -- IT WAS
|
|
SO INTENSE AND SO STRONG AND SO PAINFUL THAT I DIDN'T KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!
|
|
AAAHHHH!!!!AHHHH!!!!!AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
(and then i moved my head slightly)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
silence.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
But the feelound came back.. and it grew.. and it GREW. AND IT GREW!!!
|
|
AND IT WAS TEARING MY BRAIN APART AGAIN -- AAAHHH!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!
|
|
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
and i twitched my head..
|
|
|
|
and it started, again, very silently. And I twitched my head so it wouldn't
|
|
grow.. and I twitched my head.. over and over and over.. I kept twitching
|
|
my head so the horrible feelound would not take control of my sanity.. So
|
|
I kept twitching my head until I realized that I better get to sleep and
|
|
I couldn't get to sleep if I kept twitching my head like this..
|
|
|
|
So the feelound came back.. it grew and GREW AND GREW AND GREW!!!!!!!!
|
|
|
|
twitch.
|
|
|
|
no, I couldn't let it do that. It would be easier to get to sleep by
|
|
twitching my head over and over than letting the feelound conquer my brain.
|
|
twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. it's 2 in the morning and I HAVE TO GET TO SLEEP!!
|
|
twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch..
|
|
twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch..
|
|
twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch..
|
|
twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch.. twitch..
|
|
No!! I have to do SOMETHING!! ANYTHING!! I can't go on like this all night!!!
|
|
What can I do? No -- my friend is asleep, and won't listen to me... anyways,
|
|
even if I told him, he couldn't do anything.. What would he do anyways, take me
|
|
to a hospital where they'd know I did drugs? Tell his parents so they'd know
|
|
I did drugs? No.. nothing can be done...... Nothin... it's so late, nothing
|
|
can be done... Oh my god, this sucks. This really sucks big time.. I'll never
|
|
do any drug again.. NEVER NEVER NEVER... It's not worth it ... This SUCKS...

|
|
etc. etc.. for so long I didn't think it would ever end.
|
|
|
|
The next morning-- I was awake, my mom came to pick me up... I was really
|
|
zonked. I felt spaced. I still couldn't concentrate.. I now had to go to band
|
|
camp today.. well, my mom was taking me there and I saw my face in the mirror
|
|
and it was whiter than hell.. "Have you been drinking?", my mom asked. "No."
|
|
I got to the high school band room and we took attendance, etc.. people wondered
|
|
why I was so pale. I told some of them. We got on the buses and I just sat in
|
|
my seat, completely out of it. I didn't really talk to anyone the whole ride up..
|
|
We got there and it was a relief to have a room to be in.. but there were a lot
|
|
of responsibilities at band camp - not really the first day, though..
|
|
|
|
But the second day came, and I was still in a dreamy/zonked/out-of-it/hangover.
|
|
I was lost. I was confused. I had to work on my music!! My instructor explained
|
|
the mallet parts to me and I tried to do them well, but I didn't understand.. He'd
|
|
say something and I was lost.. What was wrong with me, he must have thought..
|
|
|
|
The third day, still there, but less... the fourth day, basically gone, maybe
|
|
a little bit left.. And finally, I could continue with my life... No, I didn't keep
|
|
up with the idea that I should never do drugs. I figured it was just nutmeg. And
|
|
it was, basically. I've always had strong reactions to drugs.. The first time I
|
|
smoked pot, it hit me like a 2x4 and I literally fell down -- or I spontaneously
|
|
lay down because the onset was so overwhelming and unexpected. The second time I
|
|
did shrooms was my friend's first time, and interestingly enough, his experience
|
|
was stronger. I had a hard time dealing with shrooms, mostly because of the
|
|
conditions in which I was. But nutmeg's different -- it doesn't matter if it's
|
|
set or setting -- if you're going to have a bad reaction, you're going to have it,
|
|
at least if it's something like a feelound -- I wish I could have stopped the
|
|
feelound.. Maybe I could have just stood up and walked around and it would have
|
|
gone away because I'd be constantly moving.. But I was too zonked to even think
|
|
about that.. Twitching was easier, anyways.. but the overall experience wasn't
|
|
really worth it, even without the feelound. The dry mouth, the 3 day hangover..
|
|
Personally, I'll never do nutmeg again in my life, I guess that goes without saying,
|
|
though. If you DO decide to do it, have a mild tranquilizer (chemical that will
|
|
put you to sleep) on hand -- valerian root is a good one which you can get at many
|
|
natural foods stores.. or just plain sleeping pills. If I just had sleeping pills,

I would have only had to go through 5 - 10 minutes of the feelound instead of a
|
|
whole hour or two (maybe it wasn't even half an hour, I don't know, I have no idea,
|
|
but it felt like eternity). But my best advice is to go with other drugs (if any)
|
|
and find out about what the drug does before you do it!
