Nutmeg high - Hallucinogenic spice creates famous hangover

For a lot of young adults searching for altered consciousness, a nutmeg high may seem like a good idea. The compound myristicin found in nutmeg does produce hallucinations. A nutmeg high isn’t really all pleasantness, though.

The reality regarding a nutmeg high

A nutmeg high isn’t entirely a myth. Nutmeg is made from an organic compound. Mystricin is the name of it. Dill, parsley and other spices have this compound in it too. Psychoactive effects can happen with myristicin blocks as it causes nerve fibers and other parasympathetic nerve impulses to stop happening. There is one thing that the nutmeg high comes from. It is a toxic response that acute anticholinergic syndrome starts. Hallucinations occur with this. The limbs get warm too. A nutmeg high does not come with the feeling of euphoria that is typically associated with a “high.”.

Side effects of a nutmeg high

If you get a nutmeg high, you can be sure of some bad side effects. Loss of coordination, dry mouth, sore throat, decreased body temperature, double vision and blurred vision are all signs of one. A "legendary" hangover happens after a nutmeg high supposedly. It’s hard to urinate while also having paranoia after a nutmeg high.

Nutmeg just one common drug-food

The Georgia Poison center is just one of many groups that are really upset about the nutmeg high. However, other "highs" can happen with things in the kitchen apart from nutmeg. Volatile compounds in food create flavor. Medications, both homeopathic and pharmaceutical, use these volatile compounds. There is a line between food and medicine that is crossed often be individuals trying to get a simple kind of buzz. Nutmeg highs aren't dangerous to most people who normally only try it once. Extreme amounts of nutmeg might change that of course.
