Burnt, my experience with nutmeg was that it did nothing at all. But it could have been old nutmeg. Apparently it needs to be fresh to be psychoactive. I’ve talked with a lot of other people who use nutmeg periodically for it’s marijuana like psychoactive effects.

Nutmeg is definitely active. Enough people use it. Malcom X used it while in prison and found the effects very enjoyable.

Nutmeg is active. So is sassafras, and so is calamus. All three contain very similar compounds.

Just because my tests with nutmeg found it inactive doesn’t mean it’s inactive. Enough trustworthy people I know say it is active. I know calamus and sassafras are active. SWIM has first hand experience with those confirming their effectiveness.

You guys can play the skeptic, that’s fine, but there are enough other people out there that also find all three effective. They are weak, but definitely effective. Nutmeg is probably the most widely abused of the three and you can find countless reports of its effects, some including full blown hallucinations.

But that aside, no one really knows what causes the full effects of nutmeg, sassafras, or calamus. It's assumed to be the essential oils. Pure myristicin doesn't produce the full effects of nutmeg and that’s a fact.

I'm assuming safrole is a sedative with action similar to MDMA but very weak. Once sassafras is washed with MEK, it's sedating effects are gone and it becomes a mild psychedelic stimulant. MEK should wash away the safrole. I'm hoping someone can confirm this is why the sedative effect is absent after the wash.
