Just thort id let you guys know my new discovery with nutmeg. Ok so we all know that its too hash for the stomach, but had anyone ever contemplated smoking it??? I decided it was time for a little experiment. After extensive research i learned that nutmeg contained alcoloids mmm ok that means i could make an alcoholic extraction so I grabbed mums nutmeg tin and scooped out 12 tablespoons of the stuff into a piece of cheesecloth and gathered up the edges and secured with a rubber band. I then filled a bowl with methelated spirits (99% cleaning alcohol). I placed the nutmeg "bag" into the alcohol and let soak overnight with a sucepan lid over the top. The next day I removed the nutmeg bag and let the alcohol evaporate naturally over the next few days. I was left with a rusty sludge - about the quantity of one asprin. I chopped up some wormwood with tobacco and added the nutmeg sludge to the mix which i rubbed in well. I left that mix to dry out further overnight. the next day I smoked the mixture over 4 cones. I was fucked!!! i was falling over everywhere and i kept seeing smiley faces and pixies. It had worked - YAY!!! and no upset stomach or headaches - aha I've discovered something here!!!
thats actually pretty cool, i've done nutmeg a few times and it never seemed to work for me. mybe i'll try this.
It didn't work obviously becuase of the wrong method of preparation and/or administration. THIS NEXT PROCEDURE IS FOR EDUCATIONAL PURPOSES ONLY. Just obtain 6-8 nutmeg nuts, grind them up into powder in a coffee grinder or blender, boil (soft boil...not the harsh hardcore boil), strain the nutmeg tea through a wire mesh(or whatever pleases you), and drink it. Effects should be noticable after about 3-5 hours of dosing and lasts for about 24 - 48hrs. Just remember that just becuase it isn't illegal that it isn't powerful. And one more thing.......please make sure you have nothing to do for a couple of days. Be safe.
When you smoked it how long did it last? I've always been interested in nutmeg but I never wanted to do it due to the long trip.
well the trip was only for 12 or so hours i'd say but i felt kinda out of it for about 24. Its alot milder than what ive read about eating it, but more my cup of tea. Its very much like dope like if you smoke it the effects are immediate and short term, but if you eat it the effects dont come on for a while but when they do they last alot longer.
glad it worked, but i just want to take a minute to raise a -very- minor issue (i guess you could say i'm nitpicking) first of all, its alkaloid, not alcoloid. alkaloids have nothing to do with alcohol. an alkaloid must be an organic compound (meaning they contain carbon atoms) and must contain nitrogen. there are further criteria, i think, but thats about all the lay folks like you and i really need to know. most drugs are alkaloids, but not all (THC, for instance, is not an alcaloid, and neither is nitrous oxide as it is not an organic compound) furthermore, most alkaloids are water-insoluble to some degree and alcohol-soluble to some degree, according to dictionary.com. however, this is a generalization, of course. for instance, psilocybian mushrooms contain alkaloids such as psilocin, psilocybin, and baeocystin. the active alkaloids in mushrooms actually can be extracted quite easily by water in the form of tea, but an alcoholic extract is not at all very effective as these particular alkaloids do not seem to dissolve into alcohol very easily. like i said, its nitpicking and minor details, but its worth knowing for future kitchen chemistry experiments that alkaloids have nothing to do with alcohol, and that while most are alcohol soluble not all are, and while many are not soluble in water, many others still are....
organic molecules need carbon AND oxygen. and polar things are water soluble, nonpolar things are fat soluble. I think alcohol is most things soluble.
i did some research of my own and i found out that the active ingrediant is Myristicin. It is dissolved in water and even more so in alcohol. But get this when heated it decomposes. so i'm 80% sure you can't smoke it and get effects before it decomposes. I'll get some work sited in a bit
well i can't find were i saw that heat can decompose it so i'm going to try it first hand and post what happens on here. Btw the boiling point of myristicin is lower that nat of water so keep the water around 140-150 f* if you want to brew that way....also everclear would proably have the most effect and best part is you won't have to evap the alcohol like with the isopropyl i'm using to extract the nutmeg for smoking (cause it's 1/3 the price of everclear!) How long did it take for the effects to start and end when you smoked it?
