Nutmeg...drug??!
Question: my mom never let my sister or I eat nutmeg, I never understood why yesterday she told me because years ago my moms friend told her it was a drug, but if it was a drug wouldn't it be illegal? I don't know I'm confused... a lot of stuff i cook uses nutmeg, and my mom always gets mad when I use it...so a lot of times i skip it, any help here

nutmeg is a hallucinogen...but only if you were to eat an HUGE amount , which would likely make you sooo sick you'd vomit before such effects would be felt!
okay, i learned this through yahoo answers. it was awhile ago though. quite honestly, you have to use it in high doses. the amount you use for cooking and whatnot is not enough.
You'd have to eat loads , I tryed eating alot once and it just made me ill .
ya it is a mild mild mild hallucinogen.. but as previous posters said, you would have to eat a bunch to get high.
So dont worry, never skip nutmeg for that reason.... it just wont hurt you to eat the teaspoon amount that you'd use in cooking.
