Permissibility Of Nutmeg/ Jaifal
Yes it’s isn’t used as an active intoxicant often at all since ( from what I understand according to my research): – its effects are a bit like pain relief and languidness ( opioid like) in more controlled quantities ( used in traditional remedies apparently ) – the amount that can lead to intoxication ( which, for these purposes, I defined as impaired judgement/ loss of reasonable behaviour )- can also easily lead to other toxic effects like vomiting ,stomach pains and bad hallucinations making it very easy to poison or even kill yourself with (starting from 2 tsp of raw nutmeg as single dose) – lastly it has a very strong flavour These qualities make nutmeg intoxication seem more like poisoning then the traditional “high” experience , infact it can make it a lethal one.Most reports I found were of teenagers trying to find a hallucinogenic agent (that they found out online) that led to hospital visits or sickness. Lastly I found many herbs and spices have some kind of psychoactive agents including saffron , parsley, dill, mint and others but they don’t necessarily cause intoxication ( nutmeg I think has higher concentrations though along with saffron which has been tested as an antidepressant )- I mean u would have to go really out of your way to achieve that. Long post but I thought I might aswell share what I learned so someone can correct me if I’m wrong . This is a useful read : https://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/nutmeg-high
