∙ 13y agoYes. Nutmeg is a spice generally ground or grated onto food. It is a spice that is the seed of the nutmeg tree, a tropical evergreen that grow on the Spice Islands. The fruit of the tree produces mace which is ground from the dried fibrous meat of the fruit and the nutmeg seed which is used whole or ground. It is most commonly used in desserts, dairy dishes, curries, and spiced drinks.
However, one must be careful how much is ingested. While not poisonous to people when consumed in normal amounts, be careful to not have too much at one time. Nutmeg contains a narcotic called myristicin. In large doses (a full teaspoon or more of ground nutmeg, or 1-3 whole nutmegs) at one time, nutmeg can be poisonous or even hallucinogenic, and cause nausea, vomiting and circulatory collapse.
Nutmeg is also poisonous to dogs. Even small doses can cause tremors, seizures, and central nervous system damage.

What will smoking nutmeg do to you?
Smoking nutmeg has similar side effects as eating it in large quantities (two tablespoons or more). The side effects vary from person to person, and some people don't experience any form of a high at all. Some people that do experience a high, don't like the feeling, and others prefer nutmeg over marijuana or LSD. Nutmeg has a chemical composition of myrista oil, Myristicin (which is chemically similar to the hallucinogenic, mescaline), and Elemicin (which is chemically similar to prescription antidepressants). Scientists believe that when these ingredients enter the body, they get converted to methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA) a.k.a. by its street name, Ecstasy. It takes several hours for the side effects of nutmeg to fully kick in. The high has been described as being mild, like being drunk or buzzed on marijuana, to being an extreme dream like, almost LSD induced high. After taking it three or four times, it doesn't take as long for the high to kick in, and the high is more potent. Other side effects of nutmeg include dry mouth, thirst, vomiting, increased heartbeat, paranoia, and disillusion.
