| I was wondering if anyone has ever heard what happens when you consume 15-20 grams of Nutmeg. I've heard some wild things. Is that potentially bad for your health? I heard someone talking about it on the radio. Let me know what you guys think. I'm just curious...that is all. |

| I heard 2 tbsp. Do a google search, apparently it gets you high, but its a slow slow slow "drug" - as in you wont get the full effect until a few hours after ingestion. |

Hmmm, nothing about it at snopes.com
My first impression is that it sounds like a bad idea. Nothing to back that up, however. |

| According to Wikipedia 5-20g will get you high. It does have some unpleasant side-effects though. |

Sounds very pleasant;
//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nutmeg#Risks_and_toxicity
"Large doses of 30 g (~6 teaspoons) or more are dangerous, potentially inducing convulsions, palpitations, nausea, eventual dehydration, and generalized body pain BMJ. In amounts of 5ΓΆ€“20 g (~1-4 teaspoons) it is a mild to medium hallucinogen, producing visual distortions and a mild euphoria."
"Use of nutmeg as a recreational drug is unpopular due to its unpleasant taste and its side effects, including dizziness, flushes, dry mouth, accelerated heartbeat, temporary constipation, difficulty in urination, nausea, and panic. A user will not experience a peak until approximately six hours after ingestion, and effects can linger for up to three days afterwards."
"A risk in any large-quantity (over 25 g, ~5 teaspoons) ingestion of nutmeg is the onset of 'nutmeg poisoning', an acute psychiatric disorder marked by thought disorder, a sense of impending death, and agitation. Some cases have resulted in hospitalization." |

| I've heard of that before. There's apparently all sorts of ways to 'get high' without using illegal street drugs. But 'every action has an equal and opposite reaction'... |

Don't tell us you've never heard of that? |

I've heard you had to dry them in the oven and then crush them and then smoke it. And then you 'get high'.
Never done it but that's what I heard in high school. |

Absolutely nothing, except perhaps give you a headache. It's one of the longest running jokes around. Telling young people how to extract "bannadine" and watching them do it used to be quite popular. I guess it isn't as common now. |

Now we tell them to drink a bottle of Robitussin and watch. Much more entertaining... |

Getting someone loaded on Dextromethorphan isn't my idea of funny but everyone's different.
EDIT: Spelling

| I would never endorse that sort of thing to anyone. I would have in my 'wilder, untamed' days, but not as a responsible adult. It's an entirely bad idea. |
