WHAT HAPPENED~
I finished dosing over 9 hours ago. My eyes look and feel red like I smoked a decent Indica strain of Cannabis. I feel cross-faded as if I had smoked a few bowls of cannabis and drank a 40oz of mickey's an hour ago. Not just a groggy feeling, I feel mentally stimulated. I am starting to type this report under the effects of Nutmeg at 6:30pm today; finished dosing Nutmeg this morning at 8:30am.

WHY~
Being a loving stoner, I have experimented with a few different alternatives to Cannabis, such being: Mugwort (Interesting, nice smoke, good tea); Damiana (Mellow mild relaxation, my current Cannabis replacement, harsh yet nice smoke, equally effective tea); Tobacco (yuck, passes the time in public places). But this stuff, Nutmeg, is seriously giving me the satisfying sensations I have been searching for. None of the above were half as satisfying as this Nutmeg buzz I have going right now. And this is totally legal.

I've been smoking nice Cannabis for more than a couple years, usually daily, throughout the day, or just at night.
Indica, Sativa, hybrid. Smoked it all. Loved it all. All the time. And I thank God for it. :) I had to quit smoking my Cannabis because of these threatening random drug tests hanging over my head.

Bottom line: Nutmeg really works :) Enjoy my first report.

I got 4 nutmeg nuts: 3 smallish mediumish nuts, estimated less than 1 inch diameter each, 1 big nut, estimated 1 and 1 quarter of an inch diameter.

PREPARATION~
I sloppily crushed said Nutmeg nuts in a glass bowl using various inefficient methods. I used one of those wooden spikey hammer things, meat tenderizer and that didn't work so I then upgraded to a 35lb dumbell and did a slightly better job getting it fine. But it was still pretty clumpy. It was not easy to get down. I didn't do anything to the Nutmeg but crush and ingest it, and it totally worked, leaving me red eyed and satisfied.

INGESTION~
Tried it on bread, don't do that. Ouch. Had a chaser. I had hot chocolate with a splash of black coffee, and I tip-spooned some crushed nutmeg chunks into my mouth, swigged the hot choco-coffee, and squinted and gnashed it down.. ouch. Note: CRUSH IT UP GOOD. BETTER THAN I DID.

It was not very pleasant to consume but man, drinking hard booze is so much worse. BLECHkk! I

I gave up on chasing dry nutmeg chunks, so I dumped my nutmeg chunks into a small glass of water and basically swigged and refilled this water-nutmeg-chunky drink down and chased with hot choco-coffee. That was much easier.. just dumping my nutmeg chunks in water, stirring it up and then downing it, then chasing with preferred beverage.
It still hurt but it worked man.

AFFECTS OF NUTMEG~

8:00am I finished crushing it. Now choking it down.

8:30am I finished choking it down. Now we wait.

11:30am Nothing is really happening. Hard to tell. Perhaps placebo relaxation? Whatever.

12:45pm Brewed and started sipping small cup of black coffee. Feel different, but I still blame placebo; since I'm excited to try Nutmeg.

1:15pm Feels like coming up on a hybrid Cannabis high. Unbelievable mental stimulation combined with body relaxation, noticeable mild euphoria. No placebo. Real nice buzz. Eureka!

1:30pm Giggly, excited, happy, chilled out, feeling more baked. Yes, it seriously feels like getting baked like after smoking bud.

2:00pm Finished coffee, which seemed to really help this work. Effects continue to slightly increase very slowly. Music is very enjoyable. I feel more stoned sitting down, and I feel more groggy and alcohol-buzzed when walking around doing various household tasks, which I carried out those tasks no problem. Awesome fuzzy body load.

Somewhat spaced out. Coffee seemed to help, but coffee by itself never makes me feel stoned like a Medical Marijuana patient, like nutmeg does.

2:30pm Brewed and drank sassafras, ginger, chamomile, cinnamon, and peppermint tea. Did not alter Nutmeg affects much, just tasty enjoyable tea. I did expect it to do more than just taste good though. Still feeling baked. Forehead tingle and chest euphoria like a sativa strain of cannabis. Wow!

6:00pm I feel stoned on something like Saturn OG. More indica-like effects now. Eyes red. Chilled out. Nutmeg is wonderful. I've eaten plenty of different foods and it has not altered the pleasant sensations. There was a point where I was staring at myself in the mirror without blinking and noticed the walls beside me in the reflection seemed to slightly and slowly glide forward or backwards with a very subtle soft motion. Nothing significant, but noticeable to me. Perhaps a result of my experimentation with mushrooms and so called 'acid' contributes to this and how everything looks static-sparkly.

7:30pm Some bearable nausea, probably from me eating 2 burritos and an egg-hashbrown-burger a couple hours ago. Feel noticeably relaxed. Fading forehead sativa tingle (this is nutmeg!) Eased sensations. Had a cool day. Last few hours seem foggy because I was cooking a lot and typing this.

7:45pm I am typing this line now. Still feel the same as last line, minus nausea. Head feels heavy. Feel kind of sleepy now. I drank a lot of ice water throughout this experience, and this may be a big part of why I enjoyed it. Finishing that cup of black coffee exactly 5 hours from finishing dose of 4 nutmeg nuts worked wonders. I was actually very giggly and happy and felt very baked like I smoked some nice weed. It's not identical but man, it's so similar to bud that it blows my mind. I felt more stoned than groggy most of the time. Right about now I feel like I smoked a cheap joint of very cheap Indica shake 100 minutes ago. (11 hours after dosing!)

The head tingling seems to change into a pressure sensation in my head. Almost like the onset of a headache. Drinking more ice water and the pressure fades away slowly back into slight forehead tingle. Better keep drinking water. I feel tired and relaxed and slightly groggy. Got bags under my eyes. I am now feeling how much I ate. Man did I stuff myself with food today. I am remembering that I had gnarly munchies throughout the day, starting at around 10:00am. I had a carrot, some raw spinach, a lot of chips, a couple burritos, and a burger patty with an egg, a slice of cheese and a hashbrown on top the burger patty and a cup of coffee with carmel butter cookies. I don't know what else I ate besides some string cheese.

I've been in a good most of the time lately. Maybe that helped this experience be so positive for me. I choose positivity whenever I have the opportunity. That's the only way to live :)

8:00pm Reading back, it seems like eating a lot of food and drinking lots of cold water really helped the effects of Nutmeg. I want to say it seems like it's tapering off, but these groggy cheap indica shake feelings may last a while longer. We shall see.

8:08pm I'm ready to go to sleep. I feel like this was a complete success. I am going to do this again. Thank you God for Nutmeg!

8:30pm Still got munchies. slowly getting more sleepy. 12 hours from dosing. What a great experiment this was/ is. I am so satisfied with this! Effects are slowly tapering off, or tapering into more sleepy effects, not sure. My eyes have looked tired since 1:15pm today. Powdered nutmeg did not work. The actual full, uncrushed nuts work.

8:40pm Thinking back, listening to music is wonderful during the stoning effects of nutmeg. No auditory hallucinations like on shrooms. No musical auditory hallucinations like on low-tolerance-high-doses of Cannabis. But music was still excellent to listen to. I listened to reggae, psydub, psychedelic rock, a band called Bongripper and a band called Gojira. All were great and made me happy.

This was a happy experience. I put the music on hold currently to charge my music playing device before I go to sleep so that I may sleep to the sounds of native american flutes and didgeridoos. I'm so ready to go to sleep now. Drinking more water. Finished my yummy chocolate. Going to smoke mugwort.

8:47pm Before I could get my smoking gear, I'm gravitated towards the tv show my dad is watching about people trying to contact spirits and they have this 3D mapping equipment and they keep calling out to spirits and they are moving through them. Watching this is making my forehead (3rd eye) tingle for some reason. Chest euphoria is very mild and still present. It made me feel slightly creeped out like something was watching me watch it.


9:27pm I smoked my Mugwort at 9pm. As I finished, the rain slowly tapered in. Beautiful night. I love the rain. I accept it as a gift. I went back inside and noticed my eyes were more red again, and I felt more buzzed with a pleasant forehead sensation. I proceeded to clean the kitchen from when I cooked my whole family dinner, nutmegged-out over 6 hours ago. Still mildly buzzed now. I am going to sleep now for sure. I'm taking my nightly 5mg melatonin now, along with lots of water. Might be peeing all night, haha.

Next morning 6:45am: I'm up. Had no issues last night. Listening to music while drifting off was pleasant and peaceful. I feel mildly relaxed today. No noticeable effects. Just slightly tired like I smoked a few bowls of Cannabis last night. I think the Mugwort and Melatonin helped me wake up more easily. No crazy dreams. Dreams for sure though, but nothing I remember.

9:20am Ate a big breakfast, drank a cup of black coffee, and I still feel a very mild yet pleasant relaxing sensation, about 25 hours after dosing. No nausea, no hang over. My eyes look stony but not red, just slightly tired looking. I could work and do labor today with these lingering effects. This was a success. I will do this again. Nutmeg is a blessing from the Creator of the Universe.
