What in the actual fuck is everyone going on about? I really hope those are not used as psychadelics.
Nutmeg *CAN* be used as a psychedelic. But take it from someone with experience doing so: Plan on 4-5 days worth of "don't need to do anything but roll over on the bed and piss into a bucket" level downtime. I got off better than even the best LSD I've ever had, but there's a HIGH price to pay for several days afterward. The best description of the come-down misery I can offer is imagine every muscle in your body has had a knitting needle passed through it - and it's still there. Every attempt at motion (at least for me) was like trying to "break loose" the muscles from my skin so they could move, and it HURT. As far as the trip itself... WOW! Hallucinations you'd swear you could get up and walk into. Conversations with "interesting" beings - that, of course, couldn't possibly have been there. And so much more... But the come-down and "hangover" afterwards... <shakes head> Never again. Was neat as a one-shot, but simply not worth the after-trip consequences.
And for those who might be thinking about asking, I can't name the exact compound that does it, but I do know it's part of the methoxylated amphetamine group - A relatively close cousin to Meth, but NOT QUITE the same substance. The Methoxylated Amphetamines are truly bizarre - The most widely known of them is, of course, crystal meth. There are an almost infinite number of ways to modify meth, chemically, to get a nearly unbelievable array of effects. Knock off a hydroxy group here and replace it with a methoxy group where it was, and you've got a substance with a totally different effect. Add a Butyl group over on the other side of the benzene ring, and you've got something else. Strip away a hydroxy group and replace it with a chlorine atom, and you've got something completely new. MDMA, Ecstasy, and DMT, along with several of the so-called "designer drugs" that were popular in the mid 80s-early 90s are part of that class. MOST of them are "speedy", some are hallucinogens, and there's one that's such an incredibly potent sedative that 30 micrograms (by comparison, the typical LSD dose usually runs somewhere in the 100-200 microgram range) is enough to literally put an elephant into a coma for several days. Highest dose of that one I ever heard of anyone trying and surviving was 6 micrograms, and supposedly, he didn't regain full consciousness for almost two weeks. Another one does things to blood vessels that GENERALLY mean you get to kiss one or more limbs goodbye due to gangrene/necrosis caused by loss of circulation. Weird and wonderful they can be, and potentially deadly as a "bonus". As the old Reagan-era PSAs said, "Don't meth around" - this shit won't only fuck up your day, it may fuck up your FOREVER if you don't know EXACTLY what you're messing with.
