nutmeg!!!
just last weekend i had a bit of an unusual drugs experience.
my friends were baking christmas biscuits, and in amongst the spices i spied some whole nutmeg, and remembered that a while ago one of my friends (a complete stoner) had told me that nutmeg could get you high in large enough doses.

so i ate one nutmeg, chewing it up from the whole nut. it tasted rather like spicy wood.
anyway, i felt no effects immediately (other than a numb mouth), so i ate another. still no effects.
then i looked online to see what other people said about doing nutmeg. and it was clear that the effects are always delayed (since it's ingested; a slow way of getting to your bloodstream). so i didn't eat any more.

about 6 hours after nutmeg consumption i started to feel a bit spaced out. at T+8 hours, i was really messed up. it was almost like being drunk, but not so 'blurry'. i kept having 'inspiration', and _constantly_ lost my train of thought. i also got really tired, and so went to bed at about T+10.

the next day i was still spaced out, and that lasted the whole day. the following day i could still feel it, and unfortunately it was the first day of my new job. the effects gradually wore off over the next few days though.

the effects:
loss of concentration/focus
red eyes
dry mouth
sounds seem more intense, almost visible
tiredness

nutmeg is completely legal, widely available, cheap, and caused me no unpleasant side effects (not counting feeling 'out of it' for a number of days).

maybe one day i'll have some embarrassing stories about things i've done while high on nutmeg...
