I'm not talking about eating a bunch of nutmeg to get high,I remember there was much debate on the properties of nutmeg back in the 70,s It was said to have light visual effects. I tried some and can say, that it didn't do much for me. But then again, I also bought in to the banana peel thing, guess what?, they didn't work either.
I wonder if this would work for people who are prone to anxiety attacks when sober?
When I was in my teens and early 20's, I suffered from general anxiety, and would have bad panic attacks while sober. Even ended up in the hospital once. This made me more susceptible to getting "too high". It always seemed to me that flipping out on marijuana was just a straight panic attack... while high.
Oddly enough, I've used marijuana over the years as one of my tools for getting over the anxiety. Which I did. Maybe I should have kept pepper with me :)
nice post man, well putTerpenes don't need to necessarily be consumed with thc or any other component of cannabis, they alone have their own therapeutic properties.
As far as my knowledge goes, alpha pinene which smells like pine as the name implies, does not come in great quantities in black peppers...
Its more the Beta-caryophyllene in black peppers that is predominant, which also is found in certain strains of cannabis.
Black peppers also contain d-limonene, alpha limonene which is a very similar compound is known for its anti-anxiety properties, and also alpha pinene is a pre cursor to alpha limonene, meaning if a kush strain for example is chopped early, it'll have more alpha pinene than limonene (assuming the strain had the genetics to produce pinene and limonene).
Limonene makes one happy, as evident by every human smelling a citrus fruit and always loving that pleasant smell. Its also good for GI related complications including acid reflux, I cannot remember the last time I had heartburn ;).
Now with all that being said, I will not discredit nor give praise to the black pepper theory, but it is for sure a fact that black pepper shares many terpenes with cannabis, and the funny part is, if you were to get head stash cannabis with these same terpenes, and instead of smoking (which is combustion and introduces other elements into the consumers body), if one was to vape the flower, the chance of the paranoia and anxiety even onsetting is cut by a very large margin. By vaping you take out a lot of components of burning that would otherwise be inside of you and could VERY well contribute if not altogether cause the paranoia.
Chlorophyl is causes paranoia, if you buy weed that smells like hay, it has not been properly dried/cured, and you should not consume it. If you do, no problem, just expect that you might get paranoia and anxiety.
If anyone has any questions, either ask here and I will try to help you out to the best of my knowledge, and/or PM me.

...Weed that devoid of balancing terpenes and cannabinoids such as CBD, can cause anxiety and paranoia, rather than cure it...
