Either all at once, or over a lifetime?
Nutmeg is poisonous in high doses and can lead to hallucinations, seizures, and other complications.
The “Anarchist’s Cookbook” covered this 😂
How much are we talking? Are there any documented suicides by nutmeg?
IIRC when I took it recreationally itwas many many grams to get to the hallucinations part. It was hard to stomach. Unless the safety profile is pretty narrow I’d say it would be difficult to complete suicide with nutmeg.
You teste it or put it in a pill or pouch or something?
Parachuted some and mixed some with milk. I wouldn’t recommend. Nothing worth possibly dying over.
Everything is toxic if you eat too much of it
… except cannabis, presuming you don’t have a genetic disposition to schizophrenia. Nearly no one has ever died of a marijuana overdose. Compare that to alcohol (or, indeed, water). In fact, the only reason I say “nearly” is just in case; its safety has been known for a long time.
This is in fact one of the core reasons why I finally stopped being a straightedge and accepted taking it. (Though smoking is still a no-no and the worst way to experience anything, basically.)
“The poison is the dose” is a saying for a reason.
Licorice is not that common a spice any more, partially because it’s toxic at pretty obtainable levels, though people who like the flavor still typically won’t accidentally consume a dangerous amount.
Tamil proverb says
அளவுக்கடந்தால் அமிர்தமும் நஞ்சு
It’s emphasizing that even the most potent, life-giving elixir can become poisonous if taken in excess.
Goodness those characters are so pretty!
just kidding
Cinnamon can cause permanent damage in high doses.
Other than that and the others mentioned here, probably just old, rotting ones would be bad.
Galium Odoratum is sufficiently poisonous that one should only use 3-3.5g per liter of beverage (usually a wine-based cocktail named “Maibowle”) to avoid liver problems (apart from those caused by alcohol).
All at once, absolutely, but it’s going to take a LOT of most things.
Theoretically, anything is poisonous if you have enough of it. We even get oxygen poisoning by breathing air that is too rich in oxygen for too long.
