It’s funny. Elemicin has been sold as a psychedelic in China for a very long time. Why is it that I only heard about it recently? I have many books on psychedelics and NOT ONE talks about elemicin. And yet elemicin is present in nutmeg oil, elemi oil, and a few others, and is pretty easy to get.
Earlier today SWIM tried nutmeg oil for the very first time. He only used 0.25 ml of nutmeg oil, but it was enough for decent mild psychedelic effects. The onset was totally different from elemi oil, but after the peak the effects were nearly identical. The effects of nutmeg oil are very clearly caused by elemicin to a large degree, at least after the peak. The onset was like a completely different drug though. It was mentally psychedelic in a way SWIM has not experienced before from anything. He has nothing to relate it to.
Larger doses of the two oils will probably give very different effects as other compounds in the oils start becoming active, but at very low doses, the two oils are very much alike (except the first two hours which are completely different).
I’m surprised that elemicin remains so obscure. And I’m also surprised that more people don’t use nutmeg oil. At the dose used it was very pleasant, with no side effects at all. I’m sure as the dose increases side effects will become apparent. But at the dose tested, it’s a very decent experience worth repeating.
Once SWIM gets a better feel for whole nutmeg oil at larger doses, he’ll try the TripleE tech on it and see how it performs with nutmeg oil.
