TFW nutmeg is a hallucinogen because it contains myristicin.

The structure of myristicin closely resembles that of amphetamine compounds, and it is capable of producing psychotropic effects similar to MDMA compounds. Because of this, it can be used in synthetic synthesis to create amphetamine derivatives, and create designer drugs like MMDMA that are similar in structure and effect to MDMA.

Out of the common spices that contain myristicin, nutmeg has a high relative concentration of the compound, and therefore is used to exploit the effects of myristicin.

At a minimum dose of about 5 g of nutmeg powder, symptoms of nutmeg intoxication can begin to emerge. Nutmeg intoxication may produce dizziness, drowsiness, and confusion, although in higher amounts, it may have effects similar to other deliriants due to its hallucinogenic effects.
