How long does it take for the nutmeg high to kick in?
I've done nutmeg a few times, and I always research first, so I
can tell you nutmeg lasts a very long time. With an average dose of
2-3 tablespoons you can expect effects to last around 24 hours,
though there are too many variables to give you an exact answer.
Keep in mind, though, that this is not 24 hours of total ecstasy,
just 24 hours of psychotropic effects, which will begin to decline
in intensity maybe halfway through. Also, the larger the dose you
take, the longer you will be an apathetic zombie afterward. I once
tripped on three tablespoons and I spent the entire next day
staring off into space, feeling like I was dead. It was quite
horrible, actually, and made me regret the trip I had. At two
tablespoons my trip was shorter and less interesting, but I just
slept through any crash there might have been, and if I'm going to
do it again I'll stick with the lower dosage.
Be careful with nutmeg, as it is a deliriant, not your usual
euphoriant or hallucinogen. There's a fairly high probability of
you experiencing mild hallucinations like hearing your name said or
something, but if you try to up the dosage to get acidlike stuff,
you could very easily overdose or go completely insane for a few
days. Deliriants are the sort of thing which lead people to cut off
their arms (documented case of a man who smoked datura, another
natural deliriant).
Be cautious and respectful with it, and you can have a good
time. For many people the effects are similar to marijuana.
It takes about 6 hours to kick in and makes you feel bad.
