Terrible hangover from nutmeg high

Teens looking for a high are embracing the spice cupboard. A nutmeg high might sound like a good option to them. The substance myristicin found in nutmeg does produce hallucinations. It’s not entirely a pleasant thing to have a nutmeg high, though. Most accounts state that a nutmeg high comes with lots of unpleasant unwanted effects.

All about the nutmeg high

There is no real nutmeg high. Nutmeg is full of an organic compound called myristicin. The substance is found in other spices as well. Dill and parsley are examples. Parasympathetic nerve impulses for instance nerve fibers are stopped by myristicin. The psychoactive effects take place because of this. Anticholinergic syndrome is a toxic reaction the nutmeg high is from. Hallucinations take place with this. The limbs get warm too. The euphoria feeling that a "high" gets you isn't what a nutmeg high does.

Issues that are included with a nutmeg high

Double-vision, blurred vision, decreased body temperature, sore throat, dry mouth and loss of coordination are all unwanted effects to a nutmeg high. Those who have tried a nutmeg high report it comes with a hangover that is “legendary.”. Nutmeg highs trigger difficulty urinating. Also, most are paranoid with it.

Nutmeg not the only food-drug

Though there is a increasing outrage from The GA Poison Center, among other groups, the reality is that a nutmeg high is not the only “high” that you can achieve with something already inside your kitchen. Volatile compounds in food create flavor. The volatile compounds are used in medication also. Both pharmaceutical and homeopathic use them. Many trying to get a buzz know exactly how to do it. This makes the line between food and medicine even worse. In general, a nutmeg high isn’t dangerous unless someone ingests extreme amounts of nutmeg, and in all likelihood, they’ll try it only once.
