I would not advocate trying to see god or God through the use of anything chemical.  I've found that two tablespoons in milk offers a pleasant sensation without nausea or other less desirable side effects.  I suppose I neglected to mention that one of these is enough.  I think most people's difficulty with nutmeg is that they are looking for some kind of hallucenation experience or the like, and they go to it expecting a similar experience to what they have on elicit drugs like pot, opioids, or the like.  In many cases people get sick because the effect does not occur fast enough for them or is not intense enough for them, so they do more and more.  I enjoy two tablespoons occasionally without issue, but I am not seeking God.  Maybe that is the difference.

I have heard that the problem with nutmeg is that the effective dose is quite large and close to the lethal dose.

This is not true at all.  By assuming an "effective dose," people are obviously looking for some experience in particular like euphoria or halucinations.  I think this is the mistake.  It can take several hours for nutmeg to be fully digested.  I think many folks continue to consume more and more during those hours thinking that they have not ingested the "effective dose" and have experiences that are less than enjoyable.  As with most things, nutmeg can offer relaxation and a pleasant mood change in small doses and has been used in culturally traditional medicines for centuries.  If you are interested in a vision quest, hit the sweat lodge.

In hind sight, maybe this drink recipe was not the best to post here.  I don't want to advocate drug use or any of the bs ideas that it can lead to an expanded mind, a clearer vision of reality, or any other spiritual mumbo jumbo.  Perhaps we should just strike that last recipe from the forum before it leads to more misunderstanding and encourages someone to do something stupid.  My sincere apologies.  I should have had more complete sight before making that post.

Two tablespoons of nutmeg in milk sounds rather awful actually. Never heard of it. I have been in a sweat lodge in the middle of winter in a bathing suit. Not too many visions, though I was sick for about two weeks. They say it's purging the soul. I say it's pneumonia.

I just thought of some kind of alcoholic bouillon based drink. I’d imagine Vodka would be the only suitable alcohol for experiments. Maybe i'll try it this weekend.

Now that the conversation has taken such a silly turn the automatic ads are ridiculous.

Honestly, beef bullion and vodka sounds kind of good, although the salt from the bullion and the alcohol will likely lead to some temporary hypertension.

Precautionary measure - locate Kidney 6 acupressure point prior to consumption by marking the spot with an 'X', should hypertension then occur press on 'X marks the spot' with medium pressure for approximately 3 minutes.

I guess that would be KI-6 here: http://www.eclecticenergies.com/acupres … s.php#KI-6

Are you saying you should do this before you drink?

Well this was meant to be a bit 'tongue in cheek' (sorry I should have added a smiley), but yes that's the spot and it's a good acupoint if you do have an attack of hypertension.  My point about marking the spot before you drink is that after you've drunk you might be so inebriated that you've no idea where the point is anymore
