Whoa this flashed me back to being 14 years old, hearing nutmeg could get you high, and splitting an entire bottle of ground nutmeg with a friend. Felt like I had the flu for 2 days. Yeesh its good young people are resilient.

Should've tried the oil, it's much better. I'm currently investigating it as a microdosing nootropic, and results have been quite positive. I probably wouldn't recommend it for long term consistent usage though, because I would be fearful of long term toxicity build-up. More like an occasional creativity boost.

I also made the bad decision as a teenager to get high off nutmeg

I learned many years later that it would require consumption of approximately 5 pounds of nutmeg to get an effective dosage (if I remember correctly).

I still can't stand the smell of nutmeg 30 plus years after this failed experiment.

Cue this chart showing how close the ratio of fetal dose to effective dose of nutmeg is (spoiler it’s bad).

I assume you mean ‘fatal’ dose. If not, please explain!

It's about half the level you'll start feeling the symptoms of toxicity from what I've seen. So you should be fine unless extremely underweight, but I wouldn't sprinkle any nutmeg on my coffee or whathaveyou to pair with it.

I wouldn't eat this whole recipe - half a pound of butter, 7 egg yolks, 3/4 pint of heavy cream etc - in one sitting either, even without the nutmeg.
