I am a 18 year old male with years of cannabis experience, also several lysergic adventures with hawaiian baby woodrose seeds. One experience with speed which did little for me, a few alcohol experiences, synthetic cannabinoids (spice,) codeine, tramadol and finally nutmeg this report will be about my most recent experience with nutmeg which is taking place as I write this. Please note all times given are approximate.

I always thought of nutmeg as being an all encompassing drug. What I mean by this is that it seems to have some element of every kind of drug. In my previous experiments with this spice I found it at one stage to produce a stimulating, amphetamine like effect, or an alcohol buzz, marijuana high, at later stages at higher doses it can become more like a mild psychedelic mixed with a narcotic opioid.

I woke up around 10 am slightly hungover from an impromptu drinking session with my father last night but quickly fixed myself up with tea and breakfast. I'm in a pretty relaxed mindset as usual, hanging around with Bob Dylan and George Harrison. My intention behind today's experiment is a fairly typical one when it comes to drugs. Recreation. So let's see what happens.

1pm (0:00) Ingested approximately half a 32 gram jar of ground nutmeg. Just tipped it from the jar into my mouth and chased with water. The taste was only mildly unpleasant but the texture was that of sand or fine gravel. Before ingestion I had several cups of tea containing black tea, sage, cloves, cardamom, star anise, ginger root and black pepper. Also some minestrone soup.

1:30 (+0:30) No effects felt yet besides a strange sandy feeling in my stomach. I know this stuff takes around 5 hours to kick in so I'll keep my eye on the clock.

2:00 (+1:00) Made some peppermint and nettle tea (twynings if you're interested.) Sat on my sofa listening to Sergeant Pepper. Slight effects are presenting themselves but considering its only around an hour since ingestion it is likely to be placebo/ expectation. The commonly reported Nutmeg flavoured burps are certainly presenting themselves but it's not really an issue.

3:15 (+2:15) Something is definitely beginning to happen here. I feel mildly sedated, calm and bubbly. Stretching feels very nice. Some minor stomach discomfort is noted but nothing too horrid.

4:30 (+3:30) I feel very faded. I expect the quality of my writing to rapidly deteriorate. I will probably have to edit this when I come back from the other side. Ok I suppose I should describe it a bit more. I feel similar to how I do on cannabis but with more of a body high. My vision is ever so slightly out of focus and my mind is very relaxed and having some pleasant/ interesting thoughts. Definitely entering the realms of what I would call a high. I keep pressing the wrong buttons as I type this. Clearly some coordination has fucked off as well.

Going to eat a full English soon which I'm really looking forward to. George Harrison's 'Best of Dark Horse' is the album of the evening. Here comes the moon, Crackerbox palace, Poor little girl. I'm really digging it more than usual (which is usually quite a lot anyway) I feel as though I'm about to start rambling if I haven't already so I'll put the kindle down for now til I actually have something worth saying. I'm intrigued by the fact that this is only the come up and also comforted by the knowledge that I've done this before and don't have any major surprises coming up.

19:15 (+6:15) Slowly but surely getting stronger. The food was brilliant. I am finding it difficult to think in the traditional thought to thought manner. My body feels as though it's made of some kind of liquid metal and tendons. I stretch and contort and find myself sitting in the strangest positions. Have noted some minor physical discomforts such as a twitch or 2 and what I can only reasonably describe as a weird feeling in my heart. But nothing in any way sinister or distressing. I think I will take a shower now, lucky it has chairs and a sauna I guess.

20:30 (+7:30) I had a wonderful shower during which the tone of my high changed somewhat drastically. I went from feeling stoned and sedated as I mentioned earlier to feeling very stimulated while being in a very psychedelic headspace. My imagination became quite vivid in this time as I imagined in depth conversations with myself elaborating on my own personal characteristics and beliefs. It is perhaps worth noting that I spent the vast majority of my time in the shower in complete darkness.

22:30 (+9:30) I am starting to get tired, but not in a sleepy sort of way, more a kind of already asleep kind of way. Like when I have a dream where I get up in the morning and get ready only to realise soon after that it's a dream. I have been watching 'No direction home' a documentary on Bob Dylan. I feel similar to how I did on a mix of weed and codeine. I like it a lot.

23:30 (+10:30) That's it I'm done for the night. My warm leather sofa is calling to me, the quilt feels smoother than usual. The air I breathe feels as though it's gently caressing my lungs. In short I feel pretty blissed out. I'm gonna finish writing this up and call it a night.

No negative effects were noted the next day although I maintained a sense of mild intoxication for up to 2 days after this.
