Either all at once, or over a lifetime?

    How much are we talking? Are there any documented suicides by nutmeg?

      2 to 3 teaspoons is lethal. 1.5 to 2.5 will get you high though. I don’t recommend it as you can see there is an overlap.

      Edit: Toxic. Not lethal

          Same. Tried that shit as a teenager and I couldn’t get out of bed for a full 24 hours. Felt like the worst flu of my life. The only thing even close to a “high” was the extreme tunnel vision I got when I tried to stand up. It was so bad that I couldn’t even sit up to watch The Price is Right. Had no choice but to sleep it off.

          Scared me away from drugs so badly that I didn’t even try weed or alcohol until I was well into my 20s.

      The only people to whom I think the risk might have seemed worth it were slaves on slave ships: either they may get a little relief by numbing how their atrocious conditions felt by escaping reality or they would die.

      IIRC when I took it recreationally itwas many many grams to get to the hallucinations part. It was hard to stomach. Unless the safety profile is pretty narrow I’d say it would be difficult to complete suicide with nutmeg.

        Sadly the hallucination effect does not correlate with the toxicity,especially the hepatotoxicity with nutmeg… You can absolutely kill of your liver and die an agonizing death a few days later and have no hallucinations at all.

      It’s funny because I am cooking with nutmeg, and was saying that. A quick search tells me that you can have hallucination from 15g of nutmeg.

      However, with the strong taste, sounds like a good netty bad poison
