Nutmeg Extract?

My friend said hes getting nutmeg extract. Ive never heard of this. Is there such a thing? I havnt found anything about it.

 

Is there a difference between nutmeg extract and plain nutmeg?

I did nutmeg one night in the beginning of freshman year and just woke up all goofy and shit... that day was crazy but it definitely wasn't a psychedelic experience.

 

I assume by extract, you mean a stronger preperation. Possibly, but I've never heard of anyone extracting the active chemical out of nutmeg. It might be interesting to have like 30x or 40x, so it'd be easier to do. Then it might be more worthwhile. But eating 40g's of it isn't.

 

Are you sure that this is safe to use? It probably is more for cooking than anything. Some extracts are to give a lot more flavour with just a drop to things. Be careful with this stuff, there could be a poisonous component in the extract like an alcohol or something. Nutmeg really isn't worth it lol, this girl I know just left it at that, ahah!

 

WARNING!!! This following procedure is for educational purposes only should not be attempted at home. DO NOT CONSUME!!!


If you’re planning to make nutmeg tea here are some things that will be necessary:



1.) 48-72 hrs of spare time

2.) 6-8 whole nutmeg nuts, blender or coffee grinder, a funnel,cotton balls, 2 “thick” glasses (at least 8oz.), a boiling pot.

3.) Patience.



Procedure:



1.) Grind up the nuts into powder and place powder and the pot with enough water to cover nutmeg 3-4 inches.

2.) Boil (the gentle boil and not the violent boil) for 45-60 minutes making sure the nutmeg soup doesn’t spill and making sure you add water so the soup will not burn.

3.) These next few steps are optional, which will make the tea easier to manage:


A.) Transfer the soup over to Glass A and let the nutmeg settle to the bottom. Once the nutmeg has settled to the bottom, slowly transfer the tea into Glass B so that the mush stays in Glass A and doesn’t go into Glass B.



B.) Next, apply a piece of cotton ball inside the bottom narrow part of the funnel (don’t over apply cotton since it will take “LONGER” to filter the tea. Just apply enough cotton to cover the hole) and slowly and gently filter Glass B tea using the funnel with cotton. REMEMBER TO ALWAYS KEEP YOUR TEA HOT!!!



C.) Now, you have a nice, hot, filtered nutmeg tea.



D.) If planning to study the tea, “NOT RECOMMENDED”, make sure you “ALWAYS” use it warm and never cool or cold or else your experiment will go down the drain.

Studies have shown that nutmeg tea is psychoactive
3-6 hours after consumption depending on stomach
contant and effects last 48-72 hours.

Again, this procedure is for educational purposes and should not be consumed by any human being or animal. Be safe.

 

Sounds odd. Nutmeg is incredibly disgusting when eaten in large amounts. I can't imagine how bad that would taste.

Why does it have to be hot?

 

I've read that nutmeg's main psychoactive chemical Myristicin (5-allyl-1-methoxy-2,3-(methylenedioxy)benzene) is non-soluble in water. In other words, if someone is thinking on using this tea, it is best to use it "warm" and not "cool or cold" since all the Myristicin(the oil in the tea) will become slightly hard, clumpy and will stick into its container. If planning in using the tea cold, "AN ENOURMOUS WASTE OF TIME AND NUTMEG", make sure you separate the Myristicin from the water and use it as you will. Take my word, using "COLD" nutmeg tea is "USELESS" and one is better of licking dirt of the ground. I strongly recommend you take my advice. Just keep it warm.

 

i could never get nutmeg down. its just vial.

 

Simmering it (not boiling it so it will not burn your tea) to a shot or two will do the job. Nutmegs disgusting but worth it, trust me.

 

Personally I find nutmeg to be rather vial stuff and appreciate it only in tiny culinary quantities. Myristin is toxic in its own right and I'll assume for the moment that other nutmeg molecules are as well.

I'm wondering how a simple extraction compares to employing the essential oil.

What is the percentage of myristin in a steam distilled oil compared to an extract? Does it solidify out of the matrix of other constituents in the oil?

 

He probably got it from mjb-botanicals.com or one of the sites that they sell their products too.

I'm not a huge fan of nutmeg. Read health problems on erowid. It is a deliriant. Be wary.

 

mine and my friends' best method to get nutmeg down is to wrap small doses in toilet paper, then swallow it quickly, maybe with some cola (if some of the nutmeg taste, which is nice in small amounts, but NOT at high, gets through the paper, the cola is good at covering it up). I don't know if I would encourage someone to do nutmeg. me and my friends have done it pretty many (don't know how many) times, and we're alive and well, but I heard horror stories (at internet forums, supposedly first hand) about destroyed kidneys. I'm not doing nutmeg anymore since a hellish hangover after I drank two (yeah, 2!) beers with nutmeg (DON'T mix with alcohol, not even a small amount), passed out and slept for 30 hours.
however, I've had some good times with nutmeg too, even if the first time was, well... pukey. it can be a really good high, peaking for several hours. I could think of doing it again.
Some words of advice though:

Don't overdose! begin with maybe 10 grams to be on the safe side. believe me, it's not worth overdosing! and don't take more if it hasn't begun to work in some hours. you're supposed to feel something after 2-4 hours, then peak at 6-8 hours.

DON'T mix with alcohol. I've did it two times. one after the trip was over (for some it lasts up to three days), and I just got tired. really fucking tired. almost threw up, then I collapsed. like when you've smoked too much weed. next time.. yeah, I wrote that. the same thing, but bad-ass hangover. for the neutrality of it, I have to say one of my friends has find alcohol to prevent the hangovers that may come with nutmeg. it's probably individual, especially since I don't USUALLY got those tremendous hangovers everybody talks about.

as with all drugs, be with friends if you're inexperienced, or at least somewhere where you can get help relatively fast (I've heard stories about people who'd probably died if they haven't been hospitalized within some hours).

remember doctors usually don't have much experience with nutmeg overdoses, so be careful.

oh, and maybe the most important thing, if you have a relative moderate dose AND want to have a good trip; drink water! if you're outside, bring a bottle. you will need it. you may get more dry then you get from weed.

EDIT: erowid has some things on nutmeg, like this one. yeah, it's rather extreme, since the guy who wrote it spended a summer on nutmeg. that ain't nice. he would be in really bad shape if he did the same thing with alcohol, or any drug really, except, say weed, tobacco or coffee.

 

I had no idea Nutmeg was that powerful. I've taken in excess of 15 grams (his dose) and felt next to nothing aside from a mild pot-like stoning for a few hours at one point. It doesn't seem like a delirient to me, as does Benedryl. My experience with nutmeg wasn't unlikeable, just far too much of a pain in the ass to get all that crap down.

After reading this forum and of his experience. I think I may have to try this again. How much of a dose is in that 5ml of oil they sell? As compared to grams.

 

I ate 1 and 1/2 oz of commercial nutmeg powder. I threw up a lot of it. I was high for three days. For two days it did not matter much if my eyes were open or closed as the halucinations were equally intense. It was quite an experience, but I have not been willing to eat that much nutmeg again. I have considered putting the power in capsules instead of trying to drink it in a mixture.

 

Yeah i made my own extraction. i forget the concentration... but it worked very well. gave my friend 2 caps (double dose) and it made him very high. Then knocked him out later. Just like the powder. I used Rubbing alcohol.

 

hmmm..... I would not boil this, Myristicin is sensitive to heat and the temperature may damage the extraction, If i was making this extract i would first de-fat (de-nausea) them with naphtha and then carry out a standard 4x ipa wash add to a bowl and evaporate the alcohol, if this does not work you can bet the extraction will be very hard

 

Seriously, read the erowid reports (under health). Nutmeg is something to stay away from if you ask me.

well ive read quite a bit about using nutmeg, so i decided to try some i only had like 1 tablespoon, but i seemed to feel a buzz, like somthing was different. I felt euphoric but there wasnt any hallucinations but music sounded awesome. this wen on for a few hours but i know i diddnt do enough. i plan on trying more tablespoons next time. What is a good dosage?

 

a lot of people do 15-20g's and get good effects, but it's highly variable. It seems everyone reacts differently, so be weary.

 

thanks ill be trying it soon. I know to be careful with nutmeg, but its probably nowhere near as dangerous/hectic as datura/belladonna right. Ive never done those plants and dont ever plan to but i know that they are all in the same catagory "deliriants"
