Will ground nutmeg get you high?

Ground nutmeg, derived from the seed of the nutmeg plant (Myristica fragrans), is not known to possess psychoactive properties or induce a "high" when consumed in culinary quantities. Nutmeg is primarily known for its distinctive aroma and flavour, widely used in various cuisines and recipes.

While nutmeg seeds contain the compound myristicin, which is structurally related to the psychoactive substance THC found in cannabis, the concentration and bioavailability of myristicin in nutmeg are generally insufficient to produce significant psychoactive effects. The amount of nutmeg required to potentially experience these effects would be excessive and could lead to adverse health consequences, such as nausea, vomiting, and hallucinations.

Therefore, ground nutmeg is not typically associated with getting high but is commonly used as a flavouring agent in food preparation.
