Zero rehabilitative potential, but they could basically do this now by putting a prisoner in restraints and sending them on a nutmeg trip. Guaranteed horror with a complete loss of time perception. If purgatory were real, it would be a nutmeg trip.
It contains myristicin. Disclaimer up front that the best-case scenario is you don't experience the trip and just get dry mouth and an upset stomach. It takes a lot of nutmeg, there's a chance of poisoning since you likely won't know the potency to begin with, and the Erowid vault is full of horrible experiences. Interesting to read though: https://www.erowid.org/experiences/subs/exp_Nutmeg.shtml
It's super unpleasant both in the delivery (eating a sufficient amount of nutmeg for the effects is hard to do without vomiting), and also in experience. Buuut my experience was basically like a fever dream -- really bad but not torture-level bad.
Overall I am glad I don’t do such stupid things anymore. Can’t remember the effects but I didn’t feel super good overall for the next months even iirc. Tachykardia i think it was and generally fucked up psyche for months
I still feel like vomiting when thinking about it, 10 years later so it must have been pretty bad
All species of Datura are extremely poisonous and psychoactive, especially their seeds and flowers, which can cause respiratory depression, arrhythmias, fever, delirium, hallucinations, anticholinergic syndrome, psychosis, and death if taken internally.
Yeah well shit we didn’t have Wikipedia back then I guess. Psychosis and delirium that sounds kinda it.
Omg I am reading the article and this stuff is right out of the Witcher Trial of the Grasses. Basically kinda lottery if the seeds will kill you or not because their toxicity depends on age of the plant.
