This might be one of my favorite recipes I’ve ever developed. So excited for you all to try it!

Some highlights about nutmeg (might not be perfectly up to date but we’re accurate as of the early 2010s):

There are only 2 known fatalities attributed to “overdoses” on nutmeg. One of them was an 8 year old boy in the 1800s who ate several grams….. To treat him, the doctors injected a combination of brandy (yes, the liquor), a smidge of cocaine, and some other highly questionable substances I don’t remember the exact details of. (May edit this post later to add them). After the “treatment,” he died. Was it the nutmeg that killed him or the (literal) cocktail straight to the blood that could perhaps kill a grown man? The world may never know.

Update: it was 14 grams, and in 1908.

The dose of nutmeg needed to get high is approximately 5 grams. The toxic (NOT lethal, toxic just means ‘starts to make you feel some degree of very sick’) is also 5 grams. This means that in basically every instance in which a person successfully uses nutmeg to get high, they also feel very ill. Most people report nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain, at the very least.

The nutmeg community is WILD. Part of my project required that I quote actual users from testimony somewhere online. The stories I read were so absurd that they still live in my head rent-free almost a decade later. Every single story (except ONE, see below) were indeed tales of utter misery.

One was a guy who ate 10g of nutmeg before his sister’s wedding. He reported that the wedding was “not very enjoyable” as “the cake tasted like dirt” and dancing felt like “being a puppet pulled poorly and roughly around by a bad marionette.”

Another reported doing nutmeg and becoming convinced he had destroyed his brain. He said he stared out the window of his second floor apartment and “looked down at the other people, the normal people, the ones who weren’t going to be 30 IQ points stupider for the rest of their lives. I envied them for what they had. They didn’t even know. I would never be like them again.” He reported that he was fine a day later after the high wore off, and swore he’d never do it again. I still remember his username. RIP thelittletripperthatcouldnt.

The final guy, though. His story was the strangest. He LOVED nutmeg. He nut(meg)ed every day. For 12 hours each day he would watch porn and do nutmeg. He had done this for months. He was happy. He recommended nutmeg to everyone. I did not include his take in my presentation.

The Powerful Heir to the Maker of the Universe,

Came into the world as an innocent infant through a virgin birth.

The Cornerstone lived among the diamonds that loved Him,

As well as the rough that rejected Him.

After His baptism and His 40 days battle with the dragon,

He preached of His Father’s Approaching Kingdom.

There were those who received Him and His Word,

As there were some who tried to stone Him for the Word.

The ruble of self-righteousness sought to slay the Prince,

Hence they bribed The Iscariot.

At the Garden, His Highness prayed thrice,

“Take this cup from me, but thy will be done.”,

In the following He was betrayed, and left alone to face His Destiny,

By His own pupils.

They tried Him unjustly in trial,

Then they nailed Him to a tree between two thieves.

When He breathed His last and lay down His bleeding head,

The Roman pierced His side where blood and water flowed.

The Dragon and ruble thought they had the last laugh,

Only to find The Alpha and Omega had the tables turned.

Three days later, on the first day of Unleavened Bread,

The lassies came to pay Him tribute,

Only to learn He had risen from His borrowed tomb.

The disciples ran to and fro from His tomb,

Leaving a weeping Mary Magdalene.

Her Risen Rabboni wiped her tears and gave her leave with a message,

“I have ascended to My Abba and your Abba; to My Elohim and your Elohim.”.

When she met the brethren they doubted her,

Only to be rebuked by the Cornerstone.

At the lake they spent their last days until His Ascension Home,

Knowing that He would be with them until the end of the world.

As they share His doctrine which spread across the globe,

That they had sins to repent of and a redemption to receive,

It came to be known as The Gospel,

Which is the tale you heard just now.
