Heard through the grapevine that nutmeg oil contains a psychoactive "more or less" on par with LSD (and to avoid the powdered nuts altogether—no need to warn me).

Needless to say, I am intrigued. A quick search on Amazon brings up quite a few listings for pure nutmeg oil, which is exciting. I'm just wondering if these Amazon brands contain the psychoactive component or if it is somehow destroyed during manufacturing with heat treatment or something.

Anyone know anything about it?

nah

All sorts of stuff will bring you to an altered state of mind. Tons of herbs indeed.

If there is a reason why nutmeg (or nutmeg oil or whatever oil combination) or many ther herbs are not widely used it is because:

1) the high they produce sucks
2) the high is upredictable
3) safety margins are too tight
4) a combination of 1,2,3


Just bring the datura high on your mind as a toungue-in-cheek example

You are more than welcome to experiment, safety first of course. There are relevant posts in the Nexus around circa 2010.

But on par to LSD?
nah

"Datura" and "safety first" got me thinking.

If I recall correctly, one major difference of Datura and other nightshades vs. most tryptamines and phenethylamines is that there is no tolerance to nightshade effects - on the contrary, effects are cumulative, so if you had a 'nice' datura trip yesterday, you only need very little to get that full effect again today.

I don't know if it's the same with nutmeg / myristicin, but unless you know otherwise, please consider the possibility.

Please read this post.

Not to mention, ALL OF THIS.
