because we like to laugh when other people suffer




Apparently a man my aunt knows once ate too much corn and drank too much beer. The corn began to ferment in the beer in his stomach and the gas produced gave him hallucinations. He had to have his stomach pumped.


This was about 20 years ago, and she still can’t look at the guy without having it pop immediately to mind.

  1. Upon returning at about 8:30pm, I still felt no effects and decided the dose had been insufficient. I shaved my second tablespoonful of fresh nutmeg again into skim milk with sugar and drank this while watching a movie. I also ate a substantial supper of spagettios, pumpernickel bread and kippers, and continued drinking water.

    Physical effects emerged mid-way into the movie. First I felt a mild, controllable sense of nausea, which was countered by sitting still and not moving about. I enjoyed the movie ("Homegrown," about a group of young amateur marijuana farmers). The nutmeg did not produce any psychological effects. At some point I felt mild heat around my extremities. This was augmented about an hour later by the familiar feeling (to marijuana users) of cottonmouth. I kept a large glass of water nearby and continuously drank water throughout the entire evening to counter the cottonmouth and prevent dehydration.

    ...

    After the movie ended, I could by this time feel a warmth in my eyes and looked in the mirror to notice they were red and bloodshot, again a very familiar experience to a marijuana user. Nutmeg’s physical effects mimic the marijuana high, but the overall effect more strongly resembles flu.
