I know that common ground nutmeg can get you high, but that it isn't fun to try because the stuff tastes nasty when eaten in a large quantity. I want to try it but would like to know how to extract the active ingredient, Myristicin, so that I don't have to eat this horrific tasting stuff. Does anyone know how to do this?

I wonder if it could be extracted in the same way that pure THC can be extracted from Marijuana, using acetone (or 100% ethanol if you can't afford it) and filtering out the solid material?

Any help would be appreciated.

Search for the "Myristicin" thread, a few weeks back.

In short your answer is: NO
Not without fractional distillation you dont.

On the one hand, Aerogone's right as far as extracting a single one of the many allylbenzenes. 'n frankly, even fractdist will be a bitch, since they're readily-volitailizing compounds with amazingly similar boiling points.

OTOH, since your definition of "pure" in regards to THC is some isohash... yes, you could get a much lower volume of consumption that you could put in gelcaps.

Or, you could just stir it into melted chocolate, slice into mini chips, spritz 'em with sugar water for a candy coating (so ya don't have to taste even chocolate-diluted nutmeg), and... I dunno, stir 'em into whipped cream or something and grab a spoon.

I did nutmeg once, after my friend smoked it...it didn't turn out too well. It was my first time packing my own parachutes, and I ended up putting far too much in. Needless to say, came loose in my throat and caused me to throw up from the awful, awful taste.

I remember reading a story about how they boiled the large amount of nutmeg and then put the pot in the fridge or freezer, making the oil on top cool. They took that and ate it and apparently tripped off it.

Couldn't hurt to try.

Also, it was ground.

Lucky you threw up nutmeg on your first parachute instead of something valuable. Better to lose some nutmeg then some Oxy, that's for sure!

Oxy has absolutely NOTHING on the horrid taste of nutmeg, AT ALL. It was easily the most disgusting thing I've ever consumed.
